Major: Communication (Mass Media, Public Relations, Organizational Communication, & Journalism)

Hometown: Waunakee, WI

Position in Residence Life: Summer Operations Assistant (SOA)

Favorite Part about UWGB: I love how close, yet removed, campus is from the city. It’s great that campus feels like a small town, but if you want a smaller city experience it’s only a 15 minute drive.

Favorite Class/Professor: Professor Shauna Froelich due to her energy and enthusiasm. She always knows how to make a student feel included. I can’t decide a favorite class, because I love how all the Communication classes are very hands on and practical to the real world.

Best Study Spot on Campus: The newly renovated Library Commons (especially since those private rooms are great for group work)

Favorite Movie: I don’t know, Star Wars: A New Hope. It’s a classic.

Current show you are binge watching on Netflix/Hulu: Handmaid’s Tale

Hidden Talent: Some people don’t know that I play a few instruments. (Violin, mandolin, ukulele, and saxophone)

Are you a cat or dog person: Typically dog, but I like both

Best piece of advice you ever received: I don’t know if this is considered advice, but my former President-Nate Nichols, was the one who taught me through his actions to embrace critique and feedback and not just accept it.

If you could trade lives with anyone for a day, who would it be: Probably Beyoncé, cause she’s Beyoncé.

If you were stranded on an island and could only bring three items, what would they be: I mean to be practical: a working boat with a map and a compass, food, and clean water.
