What drew you to Washington, D.C., and The ÃÛÌÒÉç?
It was a bit of a miracle that I even discovered Catholic U in the first place! Had I not been clearing out my spam folder my senior year of high school, I wouldn't have known about Catholic at all. I came because of the generous scholarship and aid but stayed for the vibrant D.C. location, top-notch faculty, and involved campus community.

What is your favorite spot in the city?
D.C. is an amazing city if you're an avid concert-goer like me. There's always live music somewhere. I've seen amazing headliners at Capital One Arena or The Anthem, and up-and-coming artists at the 9:30 Club and Black Cat. A drive away brings you to Merriweather Post Pavillion, which hosts some amazing acts. The concert scene in D.C. is pretty electric!

Favorite Catholic U tradition?
As a former Resident Assistant, I LOVE Move-In Day. You really get a sense of our commitment to service at this University by how involved our campus community is during Move-In Day. I think that's beautiful.

What is your favorite museum in the city?
The Smithsonian Natural History Museum, specifically the minerals and gems collection. I think those rocks rock!
