If you could go back in time to any moment you had here at FIU what would it be and why?

What is one thing you can’t live without?
One thing I can’t live without is definitely my family. They are my support system and my backbone!
What is your plan going forward (after graduation)?
After graduation my hopes are to either attend graduate school for student affairs, or to be an educational leadership consultant for Alpha Xi Delta Nationally.
What advice would you give younger college students today who are striving towards graduating?
My advice would be to make the most of your college experience because it truly does fly by and to get involved on campus! By getting involved within FIU you are able to gain professional development skills and realize your potential! Make your time count!
