A Brief Q&A

Where is your hometown?

Las Vegas, NV

What are some extracurricular activities that you enjoy?

I am a member of Club Volleyball, rock climbing, and biking.

Why did you choose Norwich University?

I always wanted to go into the military, and in high school, I was introduced to the idea of being an officer. When I did my research on Norwich, I found that this was the place for me.

What was it like the first time you visited Norwich, and was it a turning point for you?

My first time on the Norwich ground was on Rook arrival day, and it was more of (I am here, and it's too late to go back.)

Can you share one tip with prospective students about making the college decision, and what you recommend when visiting a campus?

A tip would be to come here open-minded and ready to accept that not everyone will be or think the same as you, and the question to ask your corps tour guide (would they be a rookie all over again).

Lastly, what is the most frequently asked question you get from families/students?

The most frequently asked question for me is that, "How do I manage my time with classes and corps? And how was it being a rookie?"

During the time spent as a rook, I struggled with time management because it was overwhelming, but a few weeks in, I was able to balance my time by drawing up a schedule and following it, and my cadre also helped me. And now, as a senior, it has gotten easy for me.
