Biography

Favorite place on campus

Ritchie Residence Hall and the grassy area in front of it is my favorite place on campus. Ritchie was where I lived as a freshman – home of the Emerging Leaders! All of my new college friends and I would play soccer and Frisbee and study together in the grassy area in front of the residence hall. Living on campus and being an Emerging Leader opened many doors and provided several opportunities for me that helped me to succeed as a student and get to where I am today.

Favorite college course
