I chose to attend UW–Madison because I was amazed by the amount of opportunities here, whether they be classes, organizations, or otherwise, and I saw a great amount of possibility and new paths I could take.

In my free time, I like to see live music (The Sylvee, The Majestic, WUD Music, etc.), go to free movies on campus, go to Comedy on State, walk on Lakeshore path, kayak, and go to coffee shops.

My biggest advice to Future Badgers is to not be intimidated by the size of the school! Once you are here it feels much smaller, especially if you join organizations and make friends who you see often.

After graduate, I hope to get a communications-related job and continue making music.
