What has been the most surprising thing about college life for you?
The number of older students. It is something I love about ECC, as it is a community college where you get to meet people from all walks of life and get to hear viewpoints that you would have never considered.
What’s a hobby or interest you have outside of school?
I have so many hobbies and interests; I love to craft, and I love to learn. Currently, I am really into sewing, painting, and cooking. I have also been loving historical dramas like the TV show “Harlots.”
What advice would you give to new ECC students?
Never be afraid to ask for help. Email your teachers, talk to classmates, and go to The Learning Center. Also, if you are struggling mentally then try to talk to someone over at wellness services, it is a great (and free) opportunity to try therapy, which has helped me immensely over these past few years.
List three words that describe you.
Antique-mall, inquisitive and awkward.

What is your dream job?
Neurology Nurse Practitioner. The brain is such a fascinating part of us, and it is what makes us who we are.
What would you bring to Show and Tell?
My hairless cat.
If you could start a club at ECC, what would it be?
Books! I love to read, and in elementary school it was always one of my favorite things! I would love to set up a club to collect and donate books to the kids that love to read but they may not have books at home.
What advice would you give to new ECC students?
Knowledge is power! Study hard, ask questions, and utilize your resources! All your educators want you to succeed, and there are so many resources to help you!
