Why did you choose CAADatMSU?

I chose CAAD at MSU for the artistic environment. There are so many opportunities to shine and show my talent not only to myself, but to the community around me. I think it is a wonderful place to find who I am as an artist by exploring the lanes that our program has to offer.


Favorite spot on campus?

My favorite spot on campus is the walkway behind Stafford in the direction of Dogwood. There is some beautiful masonry back there that shows the perfect balance of nature and mankind. I usually find myself there taking pictures when the sunlight is breaching the trees.


If you could go back and tell your high school self one thing, what would it be.

If I could go back in time and speak to myself, I would say to relax and take a deep breath. Life is not a race, and life does not have to be perfect. I would tell myself that it is okay to receive a B, and that Bs do not make me a less successful person. Lastly, I would suggest finding better coping mechanisms to stress. Time management goes a long way.


These are a few of my favorite things ….

A few of my favorite things include anime, music, fitness, and my budding interest in fashion. My favorite anime is called Neon Genesis Evangelion, and I listen to KPop almost exclusively now.
