Favorite Movie: The Do-Over
Favorite thing about SIUE: The people! Everyone is super supportive, and it’s easy to connect with professors, staff, and other students. It’s helped me feel at home even though I’m far from my actual home.
Why do you do what you do?: I’ve had people support and guide me when I really needed it, and that’s made a big difference in my journey. Now, I want to give back and be that support for someone else. I also enjoy learning how things work and finding ways to make them better ,especially through tech. Even small ideas can lead to meaningful change, and that’s what keeps me motivated.\
What do you like to do in your free time?: I enjoy going to the gym, learning about new tech tools, and exploring personal finance and productivity hacks.
