What is a big question that you think the liberal arts help us to explore?

What can we learn from our pasts to help guide us to our futures?

What is one favorite quote or idea of yours from any class you've taken in the foundational core?

"We don't make mistakes, just happy little accidents."—Bob Ross

How do you hope your studies will help you make a positive impact in your community?

I hope my studies will help others who struggle to speak up or even lead feel like there is a space for them to grow. Growth doesn't come fast. It comes in baby steps. Soon enough you will be where you thought you wouldn't be.

What are you most excited about for the future of the Pioneer Scholars?

Going to Ireland with my cohort and learning more about liberal arts.

Looking ahead, what kind of impact do you hope to have after graduation?

I hope to improve my leadership skills so I can help those who struggle with being a leader.
