Ludas is a woman of many interests. When she first came to URI, she was unsure of what she wanted to do with her life. After spending some time in Rhode Island and being exposed to its natural beauty, her dreams quickly became clear. Now, she plans to pursue a career in landscape architecture after graduation. Ludas wants to become a tree house master.
In her spare time, Ludas enjoys listening to music, exploring nature, and exercising. Her friends would describe her as open minded, compassionate, and spontaneous.
