Tell us about a time you struggled or failed during college. When I transferred to S&T, I expected the hardest part to be adjusting to a new campus. Instead, I learned that none of my two years of completed credits had transferred. The process was long, discouraging, and filled with uncertainty. I worked with multiple advisors, faced delays from my former institution, and at one point learned that my calculus credits hadn’t transferred, which prevented me from moving forward in my major. It felt like everything I had worked for was slipping away. Eventually, a new advisor stepped in and helped resolve everything. Within weeks, my credits transferred, I tested out of Calculus III, and I officially became a junior. I started at S&T in January 2025, and today I’m a senior.
That experience taught me that setbacks don’t define you. I learned patience, resilience, and the importance of asking for help. Most importantly, I learned how powerful supportive people can be in a student’s life. Even when the path forward feels uncertain, progress is still possible—and your story isn’t over.
What's a fun or unexpected fact about that says a lot about who you are? Many people think I’m wicked, and I honestly find it hilarious. In their defense, my resting face leans toward a frown, and I spend about 95 percent of my time alone in my room working on something.
BUT once people get to know me, they realize I am gentle, patient, easygoing, and probably the least “wicked” person in the room. I will hold you accountable, but you can trust me to encourage you, uplift your spirit, and remind you of your strength when you forget it. I love surprising people with kindness, and it always reminds me not to judge anyone too quickly.
