What do you enjoy most about being at MSU? 

I love the small-town environment/feel of the campus. Everyone is so friendly, and it feels like a family to me. I am so proud to call MSU my home.

What is the most important advice that you would give students? 

My best advice is to persevere. In my experience, there has always been at least one class each semester that I struggle in but I always persevere through and get a good grade. With hard work, perseverance, and determination you can accomplish anything you put your mind to!

Why should students go to SI? 

Students should go to SI for a few reasons. It is a great place to make friends and meet people in your class. In addition, it is a great resource to attend if you are struggling in a class. You can get help from a student just like you. It is also a great resource to use proactively to allow you to understand and get ahead of the material so you don't struggle or get behind as much!

What are some of your hobbies/interests?

I love to go horseback riding, hiking, line dancing, reading, watching Netflix, hanging out with friends, and watching sunsets out at the refuge!
