• Favorite Mizzou memory: Going to watch the Homecoming football game with my dad, who came to visit me. I had never been to a football game before and the whole experience was so fun and unique.
• Proudest achievement so far: Receiving the Cherng scholarship which is given to a small number of students to do research full time during the summer.
• Favorite campus location: MizzouRec. I like going there later in the day to run.
• Favorite quote: “Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you again the present.” —Marcus Aurelius
