Why did you choose CAAD at MSU?

I’ve known that I wanted to be an architect since I first learned how to draw back in second grade. I learned about CAAD from a friend, and since I love designing, as well as being a Bulldog fan, I knew this was going to be the place for me.

Favorite spot on campus?

The top floor in the Mitchell Memorial Library is always a go-to spot for me, especially after picking up something to eat from Einstein Bagels.

If you could go back and tell your high school self one thing, what would it be?

I would tell myself not to stress out too much and live in the moment, and just simply enjoy life. Life seems to move way faster the older you get.

These are a few of my favorite things…

I love playing piano in my free time and for events. I’m always playing Rocket League or Rogue Company, and sketching has always been my favorite thing to do.
