Q: Out of everything you're working on right now, what are you most excited about and why?
A: I'm most excited about seeing projects that I have contributed on progress to their next stages. I now know how much time and effort goes into the various projects that our school is working on, so to see it all come together in the end is very enjoyable. I'm also very excited to continue growing relationships with everyone in SoK!
Q: Which states and/or countries have you lived in? Which was your favorite, and why?
A: The states I've lived in are South Carolina, Ohio and Michigan. My favorite state I've lived in is Michigan because of the amount of golf courses and lakes everywhere you look. The worst state I've lived in is Ohio because... GO BLUE!
Q: What's the most meaningful or satisfying aspect of your work?
A: The most meaningful aspect of my work is knowing that I'm helping support projects that have the capability to change lives in a positive way.
Q: What's your favorite thing about our school and why?
A: My favorite thing about the school is how personable and welcoming everyone has been. I always wanted to work for the University of Michigan and I couldn't have asked for a better landing spot.
Q: What's one fun or surprising thing about you?
A: I won three gold medals in the AAU Junior Olympics and was the only bowler to win individual gold twice (2012 & 2013).
