One semester into my college career I made the decision to transfer schools. I took the jump and leapt into the unknown. Luckily, I had tons of support from my admissions counselors, and everyone else who I worked with. Without their help, I’m not sure I would’ve been able to be successful as a transfer student. Now I’m on the other side of things! My background as a transfer student has led me to be passionate about helping others navigate change, and ultimately reach their potential. Being able to help and serve others is something I’m deeply passionate about, and I love the relationships I’ve been able to build along the way.

What’s your favorite spot on the Lawrence campus?

My favorite spot on campus is the Banta Bowl! I love celebrating big moments and watching the campus and broader Appleton community coming to support our students. The Banta Bowl is a small sub-sect of our campus community, but I think it perfectly captures the feeling that makes Lawrence so special to me!

Where’s your favorite place to eat or grab coffee in Appleton?

My favorite coffee spot is Tempest—right on the Fox River. It’s a great place with amazing food and fresh-baked goods. My go-to order is the grilled cheese (add bacon and egg), with a blueberry scone.
