Majors: Advertising and Psychology

Hometown: Apple Valley, MN

Favorite Drake memory: My favorite memory is either Drake Relays my sophomore year (especially the paint fight) or meeting up with other Drake students while studying abroad in Australia. It was so fun!

One tip for Drake freshman: Don’t be afraid to try new things! You don’t have to continue doing the same things you did in high school! College is all about exploring new ideas, things, and yourself. Take advantage of all the cool opportunities Drake has and jump in with both feet. If it doesn’t work out, oh well! Now you know and can try something else.

Plans after graduation: I am looking for a job in advertising in the entertainment industry! But I currently work at Orchard Place, a residential mental health facility. Being essential is fun, woo!
