At the core of everything I do is the desire to give back. My various roles are all connected by the same purpose—helping others and building a stronger, more inclusive campus community.

Be open to all new experiences. In college, I took a leap and started to take part in activities I enjoyed, and it has been working out well. Don’t be afraid to talk to others, especially those outside your major—you never know who you might meet.
