Why I chose Northern Arizona University: Because I needed to become more independent. NAU is the perfect combination of being removed from home, but close enough to get back when I want to. The four seasons we get here are absolutely wonderful! I love the Flagstaff/Northern Arizona area, and the feel of living in a college town. NAU has offered me some of the best community and opportunities I could've hoped for. Being an RA and getting involved in Intervarsity are two of the best decisions I've ever made. I love being a student here!

I want to be a friend and a resource that helps students find their place at NAU, and to challenge them to become their very best in college so they can go forth and change the world for the better after leaving NAU. I truly believe that college offers experiences that equip people to be world-changers, and I love being a part this time in people's lives.
