Why did you choose Purdue?
I wanted to attend a Big Ten school and Purdue was the perfect distance from home.  I also have family in Lafayette and that helped sway my decision.

What is a typical day like for you? 
There is no typical day.  I go to class, work at the VIC or one of my internships.  Sometimes I have group meetings and try to fit homework in there somewhere.  I usually end my night with one of my favorite shows and some late night TV.

What was your favorite class? 
HIST 351- The Second World War  Randy Roberts made this class a lot of fun despite the essay exams.

What are your career goals? 
I would like to work with some aspect of the sports world; Promotion, Community Relations, etc...
What was your favorite course within your major? 
COM 212- Interpersonal Communication  The topics were really interesting and relevant to everyday life.
Describe your memorable experience at Purdue? 
Attending Purdue athletic events, road trips to the Minnesota football game my freshman year, Notre Dame game this year, Cubs game, Journey, Craig Morgan and Dierks Bentley concerts.  So many fun experiences.
What is a unique experience that you have had as a tour guide? 
One summer I gave a tour to the Study Abroad Coordinator from Australia.  It was really neat to learn about their culture and I think I learned more from her than she did from me!
Where is your favorite spot on campus? 
The Engineering Mall.  The "pineapples" fit my back perfectly [as a back rest] and it is a beautiful place to relax/study in the warmer months.
What would you tell prospective students about Purdue?
Coming to Purdue was one of the best decisions I have ever made.  Even though it has been a lot of work and stressful at times, it has also been the four most fun years of my life.
How has your Purdue experience been so far?  
Fantastic!
