Looking back on your time at Stout - what was your favorite part of being a freshman? My favorite part of being a freshman had to have been my independence. Making my own choices on a day-to-day basis was both challenging and rewarding.
Do you have a job on campus or in Menomonie that keeps you busy outside of class time? Yup, I work in the Admissions office as a tour guide about 10-15 hours/week.
What is your favorite month of the year? October - It’s my birth-month and I love fall weather.
The best book you’ve ever read? Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak
Why did you choose to go to Stout? I chose Stout for their design program. Industrial design is a less common major and sometimes hard to find. Also, since I’m paying my own way, in-state tuition is a must!
Where do you see yourself in five years? In five years I would like to be a successful, working, designer with a nice place and two bulldogs; one French and one English.
What is one fun thing to do outside Menomonie and one thing to do inside?
Outside: When the weather is nice I love going to the bottoms. The bottoms is a riverside beach only 15 minutes outside of town.
Inside: I love playing Catch Phrase and watching movies.
Your first "college kiss". How did you meet the lucky one? On campus? Off? I don’t kiss and tell….promise.
If you have friends coming over, what would you cook? Meat on the grill, nuf’ said.
Who has been the biggest influence on you in you life? What lessons did they teach you? My parents and grandparents have all collectively influenced me to be a better person in general.
Has college been anything like you imagined it to be when you first started as a freshman? Ha, yes, college has lived up to a lot of my expectations.
Are you looking forward to graduating college? What is your dream job? Yes and no. Ha, don’t get me wrong, college is great and a total blast but I’m also excited to start my professional life. However, now isn’t the best time to be looking for work!
