How’d you choose your major/minor?
I chose my major because I have always known that I wanted to work in the health field, however, I also knew that I did NOT want anything to do with blood or mucus! As an audiologist - ear wax is the "worst" I'll have to work with, and that is not too bad. The science behind hearing is deeply interesting to me, and the impact that hearing has on communication is profoundly important. In the future, I hope to help patients reach their goals and maximize communication!
What’s your favorite spot on campus?
My favorite spot on campus is the beautiful ENR2 courtyard!
What has been the highlight of your college career thus far?
The highlight of my college experience has been getting to participate in experiential learning opportunities, research, labs, and extracurricular activities (like clubs on campus)! Experiences like these have helped shaped my college journey and build goals for my future endeavors by exposing me to diverse opportunities!
