Advice to students: Enjoy your college experience! Study hard, go to class, do all your assignments, but also get out and meet new people and have fun. It might not feel like it right now, but college goes by incredibly fast. Make sure to take advantage of all the opportunities you have right now and enjoy the quick ride!
If you could be any major in your cluster, what would it be? Why?: Tourism, conventions, and event management. I would love to be an event/wedding planner (I think).
Biography: I’m originally from Burlington, Wisconsin, and moved to Indianapolis in June 2018. I’m still new to the area, so I love getting out and exploring different parts of Indy and fun restaurants. Mama Carolla’s in Broad Ripple is my favorite restaurant so far. They always have a long wait, but it’s so worth it! My partner, John, and I adopted a mini-Australian shepherd named Lady back in August. I also love to run outside, so you may see me and Lady running around the canal downtown during the warmer months.
