Favorite Drake Memory: I don’t think it’s one memory. I think it’s all the memories that I made because of the people I met at Drake. I found my people and created a family that I wouldn’t have been able to make without Drake. Although my senior year got cut short, I still have all of the memories with my best friends and know that I’m going to be making so many more with my favorite people.

One tip for Drake freshman: Don’t be afraid to get out of your comfort zone. Join the clubs you think you won’t fit into, take classes that aren’t a part of your major, go to events that you think you may not like. This really is the only time you can do try things and drop them if you don’t like them as much as you thought you would. Enjoy everything Drake has to offer – you’re paying for it anyway.

Plans after graduation: In the process of looking for a job. Hopefully at a PR agency in New York.

Anything else we should share about you: I’m a first generation American who’s just trying to make her parents proud!
