About me
I play the piano and love to sing. I took an introductory level mixed martial arts class when I was a sophomore at K-State, and I can touch my right pointer finger to the back of my hand.

Why K-State
K-State made me feel like a person rather than a number. Faculty and staff sealed
the deal for me with all the personal attention they gave me. From the moment I first
stepped foot on the K-State campus I was welcomed with open arms by the K-State family.
It was unlike any other college campus I considered. I really feel like everyone at
K-State wanted me to succeed — from faculty to staff to students.
Favorite college memory
As a K-State Singer I got several opportunities to perform for audiences. I also opened
for actor and comedian Joel McHale doing stand-up comedy for an audience of more than
1,100 people.
The secret to good freshman GPA
Freshmen have so many new opportunities when they first arrive at K-State. The secret
to getting a good freshman GPA is to not overload your schedule so you do not overwhelm
yourself. Plan study hours into your daily routine. If you can make yourself stick
to that schedule, you’ll have no problem getting a good freshman GPA.
How to succeed in class
Talk to your professors, whether it be in person, through email or during their office
hours. It’s important to establish a healthy relationship with them before you have
a problem in their class. Professors at K-State are always willing to make time for
you and help you.
How to prepare for tests
Do a little at a time. If you can plan ahead and work on little chunks of the project
or have study time planned out you will be surprised how well you can do on big tests
or projects.
Living with roommates
Keep an open mind and an open line of communication. Be honest with each other. You
can’t expect your roommate to know when he or she is doing something you don’t like.
A roommate agreement could also benefit both of you. By laying out what is acceptable
and not acceptable at the beginning of the year, it will help make disputes easier
if you have something written down.
