Life before Gustavus
In high school I was pretty active. I was in basketball, volleyball, SADD, and CLASS. I worked at a collection agency throughout my junior and senior years which was very interesting and fun. Let's just say that I learned a lot and it was a great experience.
Why did you choose Gustavus?
To be completely honest with you I choose Gustavus because it was close to home. I was worried about being away from my family and friends and not knowing anyone. When I came to Gustavus for a visit I saw that it was like a small, well large family and I knew it was the place for me.
Life at Gustavus
I am involved with a new group on campus called Females for Firearms. This is something I never could see myself doing in high school but when I went to college it was a chance to try new things and I am really enjoying the girls that I have met and all the new opportunities that I have available. I am also involved in the accounting club which is helping me to get a better idea of an accounting major will do for me after I graduate.
What has been your favorite academic experience?
My favorite academic experience would probably be my American Novel class. I really enjoyed all the books we read in the class.
What is your favorite food in the Market Place?
My favorite food would have to be the pumpkin bars from the bakery. Oh it is like heaven on a plate.
How do you interact with your professors outside the classroom?
I interact with professors outside the classroom in different ways depending on the professor. Some professors have office hours that work with my schedule and some don’t. If I can't meet with them in person then I email them and they are very good about making a time to talk to them about your issues.
What is your dream job?
I really don't know. I guess my dream job would be to find a place that I am happy at and want to come to everyday.
What advice would you give a prospective Gustie?
My advice is to come to campus so you can really get a feel for it. If you have questions don't afraid to ask.
What is your favorite Gustavus tradition?
My favorite Gustavus tradition is probably traying. It was a blast and something fun to get you away from your schoolwork for a while.
