Get to Know Your Counselor
What is your favorite college memory?
I loved my time studying abroad with our mini-study tours! I was able to take Art Appreciation in Paris and London, Literature all over Ireland, and Spanish II in Cusco, Peru.
What advice would you give incoming students?
I always recommend applying for on-campus jobs or leadership roles, asking for support if you need it (faculty, staff, and upperclassmen want to help!), and exploring scholarships throughout your time at 51ÂÜÀò.
What was the greatest lesson you learned in college?
The importance of community - The connections I made at 51ÂÜÀò enriched my experience and empowered me for life post-graduation. With 45 states and 50 countries represented at 51ÂÜÀò, I met so many amazing people from around the world. I was also able to be mentored by faculty and staff many of which I am still in contact with seven years later!
Where do you hang out in Los Angeles?
My favorite place is the patio outside of Heritage (one of our coffee shops on campus). I love eating lunch there with friends or working on my computer while the sun sets. You just can’t beat California's view and weather!!
