Why did you choose CAAD at MSU?

I chose CAAD for the variety of classes they offer, and because I felt drawn to the close-knit community. Everyone seems so passionate about what they do—professors and students alike. I continue to be inspired by the people of CAAD everyday!

Favorite Spot on Campus?

My favorite spot changes every semester, but I always enjoy walking around Chadwick Lake and hanging around the Drill Field!

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

I would tell myself to be patient and try to enjoy the process. Trust that God will guide you through every season of life, especially the uncertain ones.

These are a few of my favorite things...

Some of the things I enjoy (besides art, of course) include traveling, gardening, cooking, fitness, trying new things and just being outside!
