Why did you choose Daemen?

I chose Daemen because when I visited campus I knew the environment here was different from the other colleges I had visited. I admired the close-knit community and small campus life, which make it easy to connect with faculty and friends.

In what ways are you involved on campus?

I am a member of the TriBeta Biological Honor Society as well as Daemen Campus Rescue Squad (DCRS).

What advice would you give to a prospective student?

Your college years are the time for you to explore new things and define yourself. Get involved with activities because you never know what hobbies you might pick up or friends you will make along the way.

What excites you most about being a tour guide?

The tour guide that I met my first time on campus really left a lasting impact on me, and often times first impressions are what have the biggest impact on college decisions. Being a tour guide gives me the chance to inspire prospective students, and share my love for Daemen.

What is your most memorable moment at Daemen?

My most memorable moment at Daemen so far is the first BINGO night my roommate and I attended. At Daemen, BINGO nights draw in a ton of people and can get really energetic and competitive. I've made a lot of good memories attending with my friends and would highly recommend trying it out!

How has Daemen changed or shaped your life?

Daemen has allowed me to make connections and try things outside of my comfort zone. I know that I am on track to accomplish my goals, and I feel well supported by the faculty, as well as the friends I have made along the way.

Who inspires you the most?

My mom has always been my biggest inspiration. She always motivates me to be the best version of myself and work hard to accomplish the things I want out of life. Everyday I aim to be as successful as she is and continue to make her proud.
