What does being a Diplomat mean to you?

Being a Diplomat means being open-minded, active, and excited to learn. Pushing yourself to constantly grow and change can be difficult or even daunting but the outcomes are usually life-changing. You have to be willing to take risks and get involved. 

What is your favorite spot on campus?

My favorite spot on campus is my office. I have decorated my space with pictures of meaningful people, Legos, 3D prints, and more. I enjoy being creative and building things, so my office does a great job of expressing my personality and providing a homey atmosphere.

What is your favorite part about Lancaster?

My favorite part of Lancster is Costco. I love snacks and Costco always finds a way to tempt me into purchasing new things. It is also wonderful that I can order some delightful ice cream before I begin my shopping journey and I can end it with their newest addition, the chocolate chip cookie.
