Summary
What are your plans after graduating?
After graduation I hope to continue my employment through the City of Reno and work within the planning and development department. I am excited to combine my knowledge of human geography and translate those efforts towards improving the quality of life in our community.
What is the most important piece of advice you’d give to an incoming college freshman?
My advice for freshmen is that it is completely okay to change your major as long as you follow your passions alongside them. It is easier and more exciting to get through college with a subject you enjoy rather than one you don't. As a first-generation student, this was a hard decision to overcome but in the end, it really worked out. My last piece is that if you want to make connections and have a range of opportunities, go speak with professors and outreach coordinators. Chances are, you both have lots of interests and will get along just fine.
Where do you see yourself in fifteen years?
In fifteen years, I hope to have traveled to at least five other countries and possibly have been employed, done research, or completed my master's. Although being employed is the bare minimum I hope to attain, my experience and fulfillments will come along so long as I have the opportunity to follow my passions.
