For me, WVU has always felt like home. It wasn't my first choice of schools, as, before I came here, I felt it couldn't give me all the opportunities I wanted from college. Once I came here, though, I discovered it gives me everything I ever wanted and even more I didn't know I needed, as well as the feeling of always being surrounded by family.

• What is the BEST reason to attend WVU?
  I feel WVU offers a really unique experience that cannot be found at many other universities. WVU is a large university, but we have a small school feel. There are the countless job, internship, and research opportunities that comes with a large R1 school. But, with the way the colleges are divided, you never feel as though you are just a number; you are able to create the personal relationships that you find at small schools.

• What is your favorite Mountaineer memory? 
  My favorite Mountaineer memory was during my first summer working New Student Orientation when I was finishing my freshman year. On the last day of Orientation, the entire staff and all of the incoming students and families stood and sang "Country Roads" together. I still get chills thinking about it. 
  

• Why did you want to become a PSA?
  As I said, WVU wasn't my first choice of schools, but I've come to love it more than I ever could have thought and now truly cannot imagine myself anywhere else. I wanted to be a PSA so I could share my story with other students who also didn't list WVU as their first choice either and show them all the amazing opportunities they can find here. 
  

• What did you learn from the PSA experience?
  As a PSA, I have learned so much about myself and the University that I love. I now know the best way to share my story to benefit our University and incoming students and how to best help these students through my own experiences.
