Favorite spot on campus: The Hoffman Art Gallery. It’s a great place to escape when you need to clear your head.
Little-known fact about me: I don’t react to poison ivy or poison oak. I like to think of it as my own little superpower.
Piece of advice for students in the college search process: Find your fit. What’s best for you may not be what was best for the people around you. These next four years are about your own personal growth. The place that you can best nurture the roots you’re planting, is the place you should be. It’s about finding that balance for yourself between the known and unknown of that next step in your life, and that can look completely different for each of us. Don’t be afraid to break away from the norm or from the voices buzzing around you.
Favorite place to spend time in Portland: Fairline Coffee Shop in Sellwood. Not only do they sell my favorite coffee that’s grown in Arkansas from Onyx Coffee Roasters, but their food is killer, and they try to remain as locally sourced as possible! Odds are if it’s a sunny weekend, you can find me outside reading or on my laptop with my dog, Porter.
If I was stranded on a desert island, I would want these three things: A beach volleyball and net for some classic island entertainment, a radio that only plays good sunny weather tunes like the Beach Boys or Love is Strange by Mickey & Slyvia, and my dog Porter.
If I didn’t work in Admissions, I would be: I’d be a wildlife photographer for National Geographic, no doubt about it. My love of travel combined with my love for nature, animals, and the environment – what more could a girl ask for?
Admissions is located in Frank Manor House on the Undergraduate Campus.
