What is your favorite memory or experience at SSU?

One August afternoon, my roommate and I saw a dandelion by the side of the path. We sat next to the plant and each made a wish for the semester. 

What made you choose SSU?

I chose SSU because I wanted to challenge myself while being surrounded by caring and inclusive people. I love my friends and found my family at SSU. 

What has been the most challenging part of your college experience and what did you learn form it?

Keeping a healthy balance given all my commitments is sometimes hard. I've learned to prioritize my mental health even when it feels tough to do so. 

What have you been involved with at SSU?

Sonoma Escrima Club, Tuscany Village Council
