“What is your favorite part about being a Spartan?”
I love being part of such a huge, diverse community of people! Especially as an out-of-state student, I have loved meeting new people and making lifelong friends here. I also love the energy on campus during game days — it’s unmatched!
“What extracurriculars do you participate in on campus?”
I’m a volunteer at the Center for Survivors, where I help staff the crisis chat and hotline service that we offer, and am a medical advocate. I am an assistant editor at Her Campus, where I help edit articles and write articles of my own. As an undergraduate learning assistant for Neuroscience 301 and 302, I have loved being able to work with the teaching team to help students understand concepts they might be struggling with in the course. I just started volunteering as an undergraduate research assistant in the Arguello Lab in the ISTB building, and I have enjoyed learning new lab techniques and seeing how the research process works. I’m also part of MSU’s chapter of Phi Delta Epsilon, where I’ve met a bunch of awesome premed students with similar interests to mine.
“What’s your favorite study spot on campus?”
I basically live at the law library during exam weeks, and it’s my favorite place to study by far. The fourth floor at the law library has a nice view of campus, and it’s so calm, which makes it a great place to study!
“Favorite dining hall?”
Sny-Phi! It’s close to my apartment, so it’s super convenient for when I’m too lazy to cook.
