Favorite book
The Chronicles of Narnia book series is my favorite. I first read the series when I was in college, and I was struck by how such simple stories can have such deep spiritual meaning and be so delightful to read.
Trip I’d like to take
I would love to visit national parks like the Grand Tetons or Yellowstone. I have also always wanted to visit Ireland since I like Celtic music and I think it looks so pretty.
Family
I have five siblings, three nieces and a nephew. They all live around my hometown, and we love to spend time together at our parents’ house to swim, go on golf cart rides and make homemade pizza. My older sister and her husband both graduated from Northwestern.
Favorite place on Northwestern’s campus
Stegenga Hall. I lived and served as a resident assistant in Steg during my time as a student, and I loved cultivating relationships with underclassmen and upperclassmen alike. I have many memories I cherish from my time living there.
College search advice
Picking a college is a big decision! Determine what matters most to you in your college experience (e.g. academic programs, community type, etc.), and then visit the colleges you’re interested in. Meeting people and seeing what it would be like to live and learn at different colleges will help you discern where you’ll thrive.
