Advice for the Future Boilermaker

Everyone will tell you that college is different than high school.  Listen to them!  You will have to work harder than you ever have before to achieve your goals.  Learn time management now and save yourself from being completely overwhelmed!  Purdue has so many things to offer outside the classroom—learn to manage your time so you can experience them!

Fun Facts

  • I have two adorable children, Zoe and Charlie.  Three if you count my husband! 
  • I came to Purdue as a student and never left—West Lafayette isn’t so bad!
  • I like puns—the dumber the better. 
  • I’ve been on facebook for years—you can find me there!
