Why did you choose Northwestern?
I chose Northwestern because I thought the campus was gorgeous - I liked the colors - and I also saw it as a place where community is built and opportunities are present at every step.

What is one of your favorite memories from Arch?
Bio&Chem Excel: Meeting one of my now best friends and deciding to be roommates for the school year 2 weeks into the program. It worked out!

NU Bioscientist: Making brunch with friends in the program on a Saturday and bonding over not being able to flip our omelet.

What is your favorite spot on campus?
Pancoe – Cafe Coralie

What's one piece of advice you would give to incoming students?
Be nice to yourself – remember that everyone has their own journey!
