Biography
Hometown: Albion, NE
Favorite place to spend time in Seattle: I love spending time at the variety of parks Seattle has to offer! My current favorite is Volunteer Park, but there is also the Japanese Garden, Washington State Arboretum, Madrona Park, and Seward Park. It’s the perfect pastime to save money, engage with nature, and have as big of a picnic as you want with friends!
Favorite Place on SU’s Campus: The walkway at the top of campus that passes by the Administration building and Casey building is beautiful and fun to stroll. The hanging trees, plethora of flower bushes, and neighborhood dogs will always keep you enchanted! There’s also a secret pathway that veers off to the Labyrinth, if you can find it!
Advice for prospective students: Join clubs! One of the most valuable benefits universities have to offer is the diverse communities that host students from all walks of life. This is a place for Freshmen to meet Seniors, for values to be expressed and explored, and for individuals to forge their own paths.
