Career goal: Enjoy every day of work, in a place where my work has meaningful impact.
Best IU experience so far: Traveling to India after freshman year – it was a truly eye-opening experience with unforgettable memories.
One thing I want to do before I leave Bloomington/campus: Rush the court after an IUBB NCAA tournament win.
My greatest role model: J.K. Rowling. She overcame apathetic responses to her work to create an incredibly universal story.
Favorite movie and why: The Inside Job. I enjoy crime movies (but am not a criminal).
Favorite class at IU and why: Spanish composition. I had a great professor and learned a ton about being able to communicate in Spanish. Also saw some good Spanish cinema.
Something I’m really passionate about: Skiing
