Advice to students: Ask a lot of questions. Take notes on meetings (outside of class!). Explore yourself and be willing to allow changes to your future plans. Don't compare yourself to your classmates/friends. Network in your classes—your classmates and professors are your future colleagues.
If you could be any major in your cluster, what would it be? Why?: I would have loved to be a biomedical engineering major. Math has never clicked for me, but if it did, I would love to be an engineer in the medical field and create new products to help people.
Biography: I have lived in four different states (Indiana, Kansas, Florida, and South Carolina), but I grew up in Indianapolis, Indiana. I attended Franklin Central High School, but ended up moving to Hays, Kansas, for my final year of high school, so I am a Hays High School graduate. I use my degree in history to my advantage in trivia competitions. I have a ragdoll cat named after King Henry VIII. I am a proud aunt to my nieces and nephew, and you will see them all over my office. I am looking forward to serving IU Indianapolis students!
