Why did you choose CAAD at MSU?

I chose CAAD at MSU, specifically the interior design program, because I wanted to be able to express my creativity in a structured way. Before I started the program, I didn't realize just how much interior designers do to help people each day. Once I learned more, I knew it was the major for me! I love that our classes are so small because we all really get to know each other. It's so encouraging to always know that we are so willing to help one another. All the students and faculty are so passionate about their work, which is very uplifting. 


Favorite spot on campus?

Besides the studio of course, my favorite spot on campus is Chadwick lake—especially at sunset! It's such a beautiful place to wind down at the end of a long day. 


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

If I could go back and tell my high school self one thing, it would be to trust the Lord's plan for my life and not to doubt myself and my work so much. Everything will work out in time! 


These are a few of my favorite things...

A few of my favorite things are baking, my cat Rosie, rom-coms, shopping, and Diet Coke.
