What are your hobbies?
I love to sing, act, read, visit local restaurants, hang out with friends, and travel. I love an adventure!

What advice would you give students exploring majors?
It really comes down to you and your best fit. It is about understanding your strengths and what you envision for your future. Once you know what your values are, your strengths and what excites you, finding a major is a much more fun expedition!

What do you love about Southeastern?
I have always loved the family feel of Southeastern and how professors really want each student to succeed. There are so many ways to be involved on campus!

What’s a fun fact about yourself?
Well you get a 2 for 1… I was born in Denmark and I lived in Indonesia for 3 years (like in a camp in the jungle… there were monkeys and gorillas)!
