Hobbies: I am kind of all over the place. I love to be outside when it is warm and sunny! The perfect day would be a sunny day at a state park, taking photos of nature. I also love to be artsy. Besides being a photographer, I love to paint, draw, all sorts of craft, really anything that is art involved.
Why I became a mentor: I became a mentor because I love meeting new people! Guiding others to better transition to any point in life is very important to me. I love watching others succeed in life even in the smallest ways. Mentoring is a great way to do that. I’ve had the privilege to have great mentors in the past and a few who are still with me today. I would love to extend the knowledge I have learned to others.
Bio: I am a senior on my second undergrad degree. I am learning American Sign Language for my degree. I absolutely love it! I moved to Indianapolis in 2021 but my family lives in South Bend, Indiana. I have two wonderful brothers who are both in college. My family also has a dachshund named Dragon. I have been to 8 countries since high school. My favorite country is Jamaica. I have been there 3 times now. Traveling teaches me to branch out in my everyday living. I am outgoing and love to try new things.
Favorite place on campus: My favorite spot on campus is any place outside- Taylor courtyard, Library fountain or the sitting area outside the campus center.
Best place to eat: The best place to eat so far in Indy is Felix Taco Truck on W. Washington Street.
Favorite thing about IUPUI: My favorite thing about IUPUI is the community that I have built here. I feel at home with the friends that I have made. As well as the mentors and professors that I have met.
One piece of advice: One piece of advice is to don’t be afraid to reach out to any one and everyone about anything. There is so much to learn! Not everyone can do it all. You got this!
