Hi everyone! My hobbies range from video games to walking in nature and many things in between. Many of my favorites come from the 80s like music, movies, etc. I played soccer since I was a kid and while I do not play as much anymore, I certainly love watching it! Additionally, one of the defining parts of my identity is that I am a Christian. I do not know what I want to do in the future, although I hope to spark some interest through the classes I take 51¸£ÀûÉç. I am very excited to be a PSST mentor and to help my mentees become familiar with the amazing LHC community!

Hi all! Some facts about me are: I'm the youngest of five siblings and a first-generation college student.  I currently serve as the Director of Allocations for Western's Student Government and am also a bartender. I plan on pursuing a JD-MBA post-grad. The reason I became a PSST mentor is to make a difference, my mentor was super helpful, kind, and welcoming, and I hope to be the same. In my free time, I love to lift, watch F1, cook, and run with my dog Rainy.
