Why did you choose to pursue a career in healthcare?  

I always wanted to pursue a career in healthcare. I wanted to help people and I saw myself achieving that in this field. I know that people will always need healthcare providers so having job stability was important to me as well. 

What is your favorite ice cream spot in Columbia?

My favorite ice cream shop is Sparky’s because they always have new flavors of ice cream and I really love the environment inside of the shop. 

What is your favorite study spot on campus?

My favorite study spot is at Memorial Union in the lower level because it is almost always quiet and not a lot of people go down there.
