Fun fact about you: 

• I play six instruments (guitar, bass guitar, ukulele, flute, trumpet, and piano).  

Why are you excited to be a Peer Advisor? 
I’m really excited to help students create their own unique paths. There are so many majors and minors that I find it really interesting what combination students do and how that helps them with what they want to do in the future.

What is your favorite thing about UMD?
I love the city itself. The architecture and overall look of the city is so uniquely Duluth.
