Making the BIG Decision
I chose Purdue because the financial aid department met all my financial needs and the campus made me feel comfortable, like it was an extension of home.

How I Got Involved

• Purdue Student Host Organization — president
• Purdue National Guard Society — president
• Purdue Science Ambassador
• Purdue Science Student Council
• 181st FW Indiana Air National Guard

Residence Hall Life
I lived in Cary Quad my freshman year. I liked the close-knit community on my floor. The guys were friendly and helpful and there was always something interesting or fun to help me get involved.

Most Memorable Purdue Experience
I've really enjoyed giving tours of the campus to prospective students. It's fun to see the same people on campus later as Purdue students.

What the Future Holds
I hope to work in the pharmaceutical or biotechnology fields. I eventually want to earn an MBA and start my own company.
