Any words of advice for incoming students?
Try to keep a familiar part of your routine from home in your new life at school. It'll help ease your transition.

What did you study and why?
I majored in Media and Communications because my favorite class in high school was a pop culture class and I always valued communication skills. I minored in both Hispanic studies and Drama. Theater has been one of my favorite hobbies since middle school!

What's your favorite Catholic University tradition?
CapitalFest! The reveal of the visiting artist is so exciting. Who doesn't love a free concert?

What made you choose your school?
I knew I loved the campus after my tour but after my recruiting trip with the swim team, I fell in love with the community.
