ENTHUSIASTIC. RELIABLE. HARD-WORKING.
“Don’t be shy! Everyone is pretty friendly, professors included. Your time in university will be so much more enriched and enjoyable if you step outside your comfort zone. Maybe join a club or an intramural team, try an independent study, or volunteer with new organizations. There are a lot of amazing research opportunities and activities to do within your degree, you just have to look for them. The people you meet and opportunities that come your way will be what makes the next 4-5 years so exciting! It’s definitely worth taking some risks and trying something new."
