What is your best advice for high school students looking to attend college?: Be intentional about establishing nurturing and supportive relationships with your peers, faculty, and staff. This allows you to develop a network to achieve personal and academic success. Leverage the programs and resources across campus; strategically explore your academic interests; embrace challenges; and take ownership of your education and experience.

Do you have a particular favorite UO “fun fact”?: The UO has one Heisman Trophy winner.

What’s your favorite place to hang out on the ÌÇÐĹÙÍø campus or in Eugene, and why?: I love the beautiful landscape that surrounds the north side of Fenton Hall and the Lillis Business Complex.

If you didn’t work in admissions what would you be doing instead?: I would love to be an English and humanities teacher in Europe or a Spanish speaking country.
