Short Bio:
I graduated from Northwest University, and I absolutely love the Kirkland area. I am obsessed with dogs, and I’ll always stop to look at a cute puppy. In my free time, I enjoy going to coffee shops with friends, trying out new recipes and DIY projects, and walking to the lake. 

Favorite Aspect of NU:
I love the feeling of community on campus. The staff and faculty truly care about the students and invest into their lives. Chapel is something I always look forward to. The student experience of enriching events makes for great memories. I love that Christ is truly the focus in all aspects of the university. 

Favorite Food:
Ravioli and Pesto 

Favorite Place in Seattle:
Pike Place Market

Favorite Coffee Order:
White Mocha Americano 

Favorite Holiday:
Christmas

Favorite Sport: 
Volleyball 

Most Unforgettable Trip:
I went to China with the NU business program and then went to Japan with some of my friends. I was able to see incredible sights, climb part of Mt. Fuji, and go to Disneyland Tokyo.
