Why did you choose to attend a Catholic college/university?
As a practicing Catholic, attending a religious university was very important to me. It gives me the opportunity to learn more about our faith and deepen my understanding of Catholicism.
What aspect of your college/university are you most excited about?
I am eager to attend Gonzaga University to engage with a community of like-minded individuals and to explore the professional opportunities that a Gonzaga education will offer.
What one tip about the transfer process would you share with future transfer students?
One tip about the transfer process that I would give to future transfer students is make sure to constantly check timelines and dates to stay on top of any information your new school needs or is requiring you to fill out.
What advice would you share with students who are considering transferring?
I would advise students that know what their career path is to try and get an A.A. that aligns with their Bachelor's Degree. Reaching out to the school you plan to attend to get an idea of what classes you need ahead of registration is beneficial as well.
What is one fun fact about you?
One fun fact about me is I won a high school basketball state championship as well as a NWAC basketball championship in college.
