I am a freshman undergraduate at Iowa State University. While I am a psychology major who hopes to pursue a career in either psychiatry or as a school psychologist, I have always loved writing and journalism. Her Campus is the perfect outlet for me to delve into my passion for written communication and be supported by a wonderful community of young women such as myself.
As a "freshie" at Iowa State, my hope is to inspire other freshman to take on leadership roles and to make the most out of every opportunity presented! My goal is to motivate and encourage my peers to try new experiences, take risks, and to create a balance between their academics and social/personal life. College is definitely an adjustment (a scary yet exciting change!), and I aim to produce content that is relatable and real in regard to the transition into college.
Her Campus is not the only club I am passionate about, for I am a member of Best Buddies ISU! I enjoy building friendships with everyone in the club and being in a 1:1 friendship with my Buddy, Chris. I value inclusion and I believe it to be important to form friendships with members of the community who have intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDDs).
Music has always been such a big part of my life. In my spare time, I play the drum set. In high school, I auditioned into the top ensembles; I have played many venues/gigs and have had numerous performances. Drumming has always been a creative outlet for me, and in the same way, writing has always been my way of practicing self-expression.
I believe that passion drives success, and I am very passionate about being a part of the Her Campus Iowa State Team! I have faith that this chapter will be successful in reaching and supporting young women, and I cannot wait to see the positive impact we will have on our community!
