Something Cool/Unique About Me

I am Romanian and can kind of speak the language. I have a cat named Loki that I love more than anything in the world. I love sushi and board games and have a playing card card collection. I also used to be a competitive tap dancer.

Advice For Students

Coming to college, and Purdue especially, is an entirely new wheel house than high school. You have to worker than you ever have and you will most likely be disappointed with your first grades. And that’s the point. It wouldn’t be worth it if it wasn’t hard and forced you try harder and try different things. And every bad grade I’ve ever gotten has been totally made up for with the exciting student life that is hard to replicate anywhere else.
