What made you choose your school?
I applied to many schools while making my college decision but ultimately chose ÃÛÌÒÉç because of its size, campus, and proximity to a major city. It wasn't until I came to campus as a student that I discovered how wonderful the community is here at Catholic!
What did you study and why?
I studied marketing at the Busch School here at Catholic. I chose the Busch School because of the professors' dedication to educating students on virtuous and ethical business practices.
Favorite Catholic U tradition?
The Cool Schools' Polar Plunge. Each year, student-athletes jump into a freezing pool on the DuFour Stadium turf to raise money for the Special Olympics. It's a super fun event for a great cause!
Favorite Spot in D.C.?
The National Arboretum (3501 New York Ave NE, Washington, DC 20002)
