Q&A Top 5
|
|
What is your favorite college memory? |
|
My favorite college memory is being involved in Greek Life and leadership programs. I am a member of the Phi chapter of Sigma Kappa and served on the Panhellenic Council, so I was able to make some lasting friendships across campus. Also, I completed a minor in leadership studies and during my senior year, all of the seniors in the minor got to go on a whitewater rafting expedition. Despite the hail and near hypothermia (it was early May), it was an amazing experience and capstone to my involvement. Of course, there was always the beach — going to college in a beach town definitely had its advantages!

|
Why do you like working with college students? |
|
I love working with college students because they constantly keep me on my toes! It is a very rewarding experience where I am not only able to have a positive impact on their undergraduate experience, but I am able to grow as an individual through my daily conversations and experiences with students. No day is ever the same, so it keeps things interesting! |
|
What do you like most about your job? |
|
I love the fact that I interact daily with students and create programs that support their involvement and development. Most of all, it's fun and challenging. |
|
What are you most likely to be doing on a Saturday afternoon? |
|
Exploring Cleveland, catching up on my rest, studying, and more likely than not, shopping. |
|
If you could travel anywhere, where would it be and why? |
|
Australia. I always wanted to study abroad for a semester in Australia, but never had the chance. I've heard such great things about the country and would love to go diving at the Great Barrier Reef. |
