How many people are in your family? Who are they?

- I have a very big, loving family that I am beyond grateful for! They are the most important thing in my life and I don't know what I would do without them. I have four younger siblings, three parents and lots of extended family. I also consider most of my good friends to be a part of my family!

What is your fondest WSU memory thus far?

- I would have to say that some of the fondest memories during my time at WSU took place during Homecoming week my freshman year. As a new student, it was difficult to feel connected to the community right off the bat, but competing in Homecoming events encouraged me to make new friends and grow my Cougar pride.

Favorite campus spot:

- My favorite spot on campus is, by far, the Cub. There is always so much going on and it's a great place to kill time between classes whether you need to study for a test or grab a quick snack.

What advice do you have for new Cougar parents?

- The advice I have for new Cougar parents is: stay involved in your student's life if that is important to you. This transition is a big deal for most people and therefore, your loving support is essential.
