Things I enjoy: I love spending time outside, going for walks, and traveling. Some of my favorite destinations have included Italy, Iceland, Hawaii and Scotland.

Advice to students: Make the most of this time by pursuing internships and other exploratory experiences. I changed my major several times while pursuing my undergraduate degree. Each time, my decision was influenced by trying new internships which helped me learn more about myself and pointed me closer to the best career path for me. Each opportunity provided me with valuable insights into different industries, roles and organizations. Explore  the possibilities until you find something that resonates with you.
