Favorite spot on campus:  I have two! The Ravine and the bridge that has a certain significance and peacefulness during your walk through the heart of campus; To partner with that, the back porch of the Frank Manor House which also has a similar level a calmness to it for whenever you need to sit and relax throughout any day.

Little-known fact about me:  Understanding the importance of managing my well-being has made me prioritize exercise, nutrition, and meditation in my daily life. I am currently developing an AI-guided health and wellness platform(app) called Fitster Health.

Piece of advice for students in the college search process:  Visit the campuses you are
considering. Walking the grounds, talking to students, and getting a feel for the atmosphere will tell you more than any brochure or website ever could. Sometimes just being there helps you realize whether a school feels like home—and that clarity makes choosing the right college so much easier

If I was stranded on a desert island, I would want these three things:

1. Another person who can supply three additional things
2. Filtered water system
3. A sharp tool for protection or to capture food

If I didn’t work in Admissions, I would be:  Working in athletics, primarily basketball. I would be a skills/development coach and trainer for the youth and professional athletes as well.
