Making the BIG Decision
I chose Purdue because of the nice people I met and the opportunities that I saw were here. I wanted a large school, and when I came to visit I could picture myself here. It felt like the best fit for me.

How I Got Involved

• Office of Admissions Tour Guide
• Sigma Delta Tau (social sorority) — vice president
• Volunteering in local schools

Residence Hall Life
I LOVED living in Windsor Halls my freshman year. I met some of my best friends there. It was close to campus and the resident assistants had great hall activities. I also loved how unique it is for a residence hall.

Most Memorable Purdue Experience
I loved Boiler Gold Rush, and I love sporting events like football and basketball. I went to the Capital One Bowl and it was so much fun to cheer on Purdue with thousands of other Boilermakers!

What the Future Holds
I hope to be a high school Spanish teacher. I'll probably go back to Colorado, but I'd be up for great opportunities wherever they may take me.
