Summary
What are your plans after graduating?
After graduation, I plan to take a couple years off of school to travel and see the world. My first stop will be a music festival in Stockholm, Sweden this summer! Then, I eventually want to return to a college campus for graduate school. My ultimate goal is to be a university professor, so I can impact students' lives like so many of my incredible professors and mentors did for me.
What is the most important piece of advice you'd give to an incoming college freshman?
My biggest piece of advice for incoming freshmen is to establish good habits early on. Find a good study group, set goals for yourself, decide what kind of student you want to be. It's also important to be engaged. Go to every lecture, introduce yourselves to your professors, take good notes, try to soak everything in because it is a massive privilege to be able to attend a university! My freshman year, I struggled with the transition from high school where everything seemed easier. College is a whole different world and it's important to realize that as soon as possible!
Where do you see yourself in fifteen years?
In fifteen years, I see myself hopefully working or researching on a college campus somewhere, graduated with a master’s or Ph.D. (or both). It's one of my biggest goals to be a lifelong learner so I hope in fifteen years I'm still learning and maybe even teaching along the way. I see myself happy, fulfilled, and utilizing the skills and life lessons I acquired during my time at the University of Nevada.
