What is your favorite part of UNI?
My favorite part of UNI is the sense of community that defines our campus. I feel that same welcoming feeling I felt walking down the hallways of my 2A high school saying “hi” to friends as I do walking on campus and saying hi to close friends, acquaintances, or professors.
Why did you choose UNI?
I wanted a school large enough where I could expand my horizons, meet new people, and challenge myself; but small enough where I could get to know my professors.
What is your favorite college memory?
Many of my college memories result from the great group of lifelong friends I made while living two years in the dorms, Dancer 12th floor!
What are your plans after UNI?
After UNI, I hope to re-locate outside the Midwest and expand my horizons, while working my way up in an advertising firm or work in a corporate office as a business development manager. Either way, I am excited to do some traveling and continue to meet new people!
What activities are you involved with on campus?
I have been involved in Colleges Against Cancer/Relay For Life of UNI since my freshman year on campus. I am currently the Entertainment Committee chair. I am fortunate to work with great vice-chairs, a close-knit executive team, and a rock star committee to plan the 12-hour entertainment line-up for our annual fundraiser, Relay For Life in the spring. I get to try my hand at event planning, while contributing to a great, relevant cause, to end cancer. I am also the Public Relations Committee chair for the Student Admission Ambassadors. I have the privilege of working with 49 other students through campus tours, panels, and volunteer work!
What is your dream job?
My dream job is to work as a Brand Manager or Account Executive for Proctor and Gamble.
What do you like to do in your free time?
Like most college students, I like to hang out with friends in my free time.
Any Inspiring quotes or sayings you like to life by?
“Happiness is a mood, not a destination”
