Why did you choose CAADatMSU?

I chose CAAD at MSU because of the studio environment. I love the community aspect of the School of Architecture and the friendships that come from it. I'm truly thankful to get to spend the next few years surrounded by amazing people I get to call friends. 

Favorite spot on campus?

My favorite place on campus is the Veterans Memorial Rose Garden. It's a great place to get away from the business of campus and take a break to breathe and slow down. 

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

If I could tell my high school self-one thing, it would be to slow down and take it step by step. It's so easy to get ahead of yourself and have your whole life planned out, down to a tee. Just slow down, take it day by day, and make time to find peace in the business. 

These are a few of my favorite things: 

A few of my favorite things are cooking, gardening, kayaking, and tennis!
