Something Cool/Unique About Me

I am involved in clubs, research, Greek life, and intramural sports on campus in addition to being a student ambassador. I also just recently studied abroad during the summer of 2023 in Florence, Italy, studying women’s pregnancy and postpartum experiences. I wouldn’t be involved in these activities if it weren’t for the resources and opportunities presented to me at Purdue.

Advice For Students

I would advise a prospective student to take a tour of the campus or shadow a student to get an idea of what Purdue students do everyday. Pay attention to the environment and the atmosphere you experience while you’re at Purdue because it is truly unlike any other. Immersing yourself in the student experience can help you get an idea of what your life would be like at Purdue and what kinds of opportunities might be presented to you.
