My motivation
My family and friends are my biggest motivators; they've always encouraged and believed in me. My mom is always there to help when I'm having a rough day and my friends are both my greatest cheerleaders and my shoulder to cry on. I can't imagine making it through college without them.
My latest accomplishments
My latest accomplishment is making the Dean's List last semester, in which I also attained the highest GPA I have earned since entering college.
Next big goal
In the short-term, it's my goal to complete my senior thesis, a study on the relationship between psychology and marketing. In the long-term, my next big goal is to start a career with a company in a position that I am passionate about.
Why is choosing your own path important?
It's important to choose your own path because hopefully it leads you to your dreams, your goals and more importantly your happiness. Following any other path won't bring you that fulfillment. Sometimes it's hard to know what exactly your path is, but just keep doing what makes you happy every day, and eventually you'll find your way.
Favorite place on campus
I love the West side of the library on the top floor, it has a ton of floor-to-ceiling windows. The sun always seems to be shining just right and there's a great view of campus.Share this profile
