Why did you decide to come to MSU and pursue a degree in education?
I have always wanted to be a teacher and the opportunities at MSU are incredible. As soon as I toured and attended Academic Insight, I knew MSU and the College of Education was the place for me.
What do you want people to know about you?
I am involved in many things around campus from Greek life to RUF and METP. I love all things outdoors, and I hope to one day be in youth ministry or college ministry.
What advice would you give to entering freshmen or students finishing up high school?
College is a fresh start and a place to fully be yourself and meet lifelong friends. Try new things, meet new people, but always stay true to who you are. Also, don't get overwhelmed by the pressure to have it all together, because we are all in this together figuring out our life and the direction for our future!
