Why did you choose Daemen?
I chose Daemen because of its smaller campus size and close proximity to home, which made it feel comfortable and manageable right away. Daemen’s Physician Assistant program is also one of the best in the area, and that strong academic reputation definitely played a huge role in my decision.
In what ways are you involved on campus?
Besides being a tour guide, I am actively involved in PASS (Physician Assistant Student Society) and serve as an Orientation Leader. These roles have allowed me to connect with other students, support new members of the Daemen community, and stay engaged both academically and socially.
What advice would you give to a prospective student?
Always ask questions. Everyone at Daemen has been in your shoes at some point, and people here genuinely want to help. Don’t be afraid to reach out, whether it’s to professors, staff, or fellow students.
What excites you most about being a tour guide?
What excites me most is being able to share my experiences and help prospective students feel comfortable and confident about choosing Daemen. I love showing students what makes our campus special and helping them picture themselves here.
What is your most memorable moment at Daemen?
My most memorable moment at Daemen was spending time with my roommates and the people on my floor. We built such a close bond, and those friendships truly made Daemen feel like home.
How has Daemen changed or shaped your life?
Daemen has helped shape me both academically and personally. It has strengthened my confidence, supported my career goals in healthcare, and given me lasting friendships and mentors.
Who inspires you the most?
My grandmother inspires me the most. After battling cancer, she never gave up and never doubted her strength. Her resilience and determination motivate me every day to keep pushing forward, even during challenges.
