I chose Penn State Behrend...

I chose Penn State Behrend because I wanted to live close to home but have the Penn State experience. Penn State runs in my family--my mom was a graduate of University Park--and I definitely wanted to continue the tradition. I fell in love with the campus the second I visited!

Advice I would give to incoming students is...

If I could give any piece of advice to incoming students, it would be to get involved as soon as possible. Don't wait for opportunity to find you; go seek opportunity yourself! Everyone is just as nervous as you are.

My most memorable Behrend experience...

My most memorable experience at Behrend is definitely being on the 2022 Fall Concert Committee and getting to meet Yung Gravy and his DJ Tiiiiiiiiiip!

My favorite location on campus is...

My favorite location on campus is Lilley Library--but more specifically, the desks on the third floor. It is the perfect place to sit and grind out some work.
