Q&A Top 5
|
|
What is your favorite college memory? |
|
My favorite college memory was an event that was really similar to Springfest. A fraternity on campus would have bands play all day and we would sit on a hill, play games, and hang out. It was a great way to celebrate the end of the year! I guess that is why I absolutely love Springfest!
|
|
Why do you like working with college students? |
|
I love that no day is the same and that I am constantly meeting new people. I also know that 10 years down the road, some of the students I work with will think back and realize they learned something and didn't even know it at the time. As an advisor, I live for those moments. |
|
What do you like most about your job? |
|
Advising UPB and Springfest are two of my favorite job responsibilities. I also love helping to plan events like Homecoming and Thwing Study Over where students can hang out and have a great time. It is those types of events that students remember after graduation! |
|
What are you most likely to be doing on a Saturday afternoon? |
|
If I am not working, I am hanging out with my husband, playing with my dog, sitting on the beach (in the summer), or watching some reality TV show (in the winter)! |
|
If you could travel anywhere where would it be and why? |
|
I would go back to Italy. Everything about the country was absolutely wonderful: the food, the people, the beautiful art. Italians really take the time to appreciate friends and family and to enjoy life. I would move there if I could get my husband and family to join me! |
