Of all the jobs you could have on campus, what made you want to be a CAST Peer Mentor?

I find it so rewarding to help students get situated here at UNL. When I first came to UNL as a freshman, I was absolutely terrified. The First Husker Program really helped me acclimate, and I really enjoy helping students who are in that same position feel more comfortable and heard here.

You just won an all-expenses paid vacation. Where would you go?

What’s your favorite place on campus—and why?

Sour Patch Kids

What's one thing you wish you had known before starting college?
