- Were they sure of their major choice throughout college? Yes, I loved studying psychology but I didn’t know what I was going to do with it when I was a freshman. Abnormal psychology was one of my favorite courses and it that course that opened my eyes to counseling and ultimately to educational and college counseling.
- What do you wish you knew in college that you know now? I wish I had been more out-going in college. I was very focused on my academics, which is a good thing, but I did not participate in extracurricular activities much. I should have taken more advantage of the opportunities available to me while I was in college, like studying abroad, internships and being more social.
- What is your favorite thing to do in your free time? Cooking and baking! I really enjoy the process of creating treats or a delicious meal to share with others.
