Education: Trine University '22 - Bachelor of Science in Business Administration

Where are you from: Marcellus, Michigan 

Favorite Place at Trine: The Welcome Center! This could be a little bias, but I believe that we provide unreasonable hospitality to prospective students and their families who are visiting and taking a tour of Trine. 

What is something people don’t know about Trine: The campus is absolutely stunning and full of life - the online photos and descriptions simply don't capture its true beauty and energy!

Describe your perfect day in Northeastern Indiana: Summer days spent on the lake with family and friends are the best days! 

What’s your favorite Trine tradition:  Since I participated in the Trine Online program, I have not had a lot of firsthand experiences with Trine traditions. With that being said, the Commencement Ceremony will always hold a special place in my heart. 

Advice to incoming students: Get plugged in! The memories you make during these years will last a lifetime!  There are so many clubs and groups and events - there is something for everyone! 

What is your favorite TV show:  The Chosen

What is your favorite thing from your college experience and where did you attend:  I participated in the Trine Online program and am so thankful for the opportunity to finish obtaining my degree while working and being a single mom. 

What is your favorite part of Admissions: I get to connect with prospective students and talk with them about their next steps, their goals, and their dreams. 

Favorite past time/hobby: Reading and spending time on the lake with my family.
