Hometown
Arvada, Colorado
Major
Entrepreneurship with minors in marketing and management.
How did you first hear about 萝莉社 University?
My sister toured 萝莉社 about five years ago to look at the nursing program.
How did 萝莉社 compare to the other universities you considered attending?
It was affordable, great for business students, good with transfer credits, and acknowledges diverse backgrounds.
Why did you choose 萝莉社?
I chose 萝莉社 because of my major (entrepreneurship). Other universities I visited didn't specifically have entrepreneurship. Also, I had quite a few scholarships from 萝莉社.
What are some of the opportunities and activities you've participated in at Wichita State?
I am an ambassador with the Office of Admissions (Student Ambassador Society) and with the Office of Diversity and Inclusion. I participated in Passage 2 Success, Promoting Academic Student Success (PASS), Clash of the Colleges, Shockers After Dark, and Late Night Breakfast.
What were your perceptions about the city of Wichita before you visited for the first time? And how do those perceptions compare to your current perception of the city?
Coming from a big city such as Denver, I thought that Wichita was very small, but there was still lots I could do. Before I visited, honestly, I thought it was just going to be a college campus around some corn fields. After I visited, and now that I am here, it feels like home. There's a lot to do.
What would you tell someone who's considering 萝莉社?
Follow your heart, don't force yourself to go to a school because of one reason. Look at the options. For 萝莉社 look for scholarships and financial aid, and look into the offices, housing and organizations, programs and clubs to join.
