What is your favorite local restaurant?

Tom Yum Thai, narrowing this down to one was almost impossible, but I’ve been here more than I can count and always left with a great experience.

How did your college experience help shape who you are?

I learned that college is like a cake; sometimes, you finish it too fast and are left wanting more. With my terrible analogy, I’m trying to say that I learned to slow things down. Time will fly past you without realizing it, so remember to enjoy the moment.

What advice do you have for students beginning their college search?

Finding the right college may seem daunting, but don’t be afraid to contact counselors, current students, alumni, professors, or anyone related to the university you’re interested in. They will provide you with a better picture of what the university will have to offer you.
