WHY DID YOU CHOOSE WVU?

WVU has a beautiful campus and a wonderful academic reputation as an R1 institution. My parents went here for grad school and I grew up coming to WVU football games. After being awarded the Bucklew scholarship, it was an obvious choice that WVU would be a great home for me.

What is your favorite Mountaineer memory?

My favorite memory is the entire weekend where we got an incredible amount of snow my freshman year. I went sledding, made a snowman in front of the lair and went on a hike with my environmental club in a foot of snow. 

Why did you want to become a PSA?

I wanted to become a PSA because I have a deep love for my school. I was an ambassador at my high school and loved showing people what the school meant to me, and I wanted to do the same at WVU. It is also a great opportunity to meet like-minded individuals, WVU staff, and seek resume-building opportunities. The 40 service hours also attracted me because I am in a service fraternity and have a passion for serving my community.


What did you learn from the PSA experience?

 Over the course of this semester, I learned how to be a leader, what kind of leader I am, and strategies to be a good leader. I became much more confident speaking in front of groups, and I learned how to use my strengths to the best of my abilities. Overall, I learned to be more confident in my abilities as a leader and I gained a leadership mindset and goals for the future that I did not previously have.
