Why did you transfer to the University of Michigan?
It has always been my dream since I was younger to go to U of M. I grew up going to the women's basketball games, wearing maize and blue watching the football games on the couch with my dad, and hearing about how great the school's academics are. As I grew up, I only heard more and more about the opportunities that Michigan had to offer, especially within the past two years while figuring out where to transfer from my community college. There are so many communities to join and connections to make! The University of Michigan also has one of the best dental schools in the country, which is something that really drew me here as someone who wants to go down that career pathway.
What are your career plans for the future?
Orthodontist
What are your hobbies?
Some of my hobbies are playing/watching basketball, finding little coffee shops to visit, reading, drawing, spending time with friends, and I want to learn how to crochet!
