• Why I chose Mizzou: I’ve been a Mizzou student for a long time. During my time in high school back in Brazil, I was already taking MU classes and I felt in love with this place ever since.
• Favorite Mizzou memory: First day I saw the Columns and Jesse Hall in person.
• Favorite experiential learning opportunity: FRIPS (Freshman Research in Plant Sciences) has been the most amazing experience and opportunity that Mizzou made possible. It let me work in a research lab right from my first semester of classes.
• Fun fact about me: I love learning new languages, and my next goal is Italian, so if you know some, please come talk to me.
