What is your favorite memory or experience at SSU?

I have loved being given the opportunity to interact with international students studying at SSU. Forging a connection between international and local students has been such a rewarding way to facilitate cultural exchange and engagement on campus. I've loved the opportunity to welcome these students and to show them what makes Sonoma County beautiful.

What made you choose SSU?

I chose Sonoma State University because I loved the idea of living close to home and further engaging in my local community.

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

I did not attend college immediately after high school; instead I transferred to SSU at 30. While this was initially challenging in a few ways, it has taught me that there is truly no age at which one should stop pursuing their goals.

What have you been involved with at SSU?

2022-2023 International Education Exchange Council Club President, Lead Ambassador for the Global Engagement Office
