In 10 years, I will be…
Teaching in a K–2 classroom and completed with my master's degree or two. I would eventually like to be a college professor in arts education. I hope to have a husband and family, too!

What's the coolest thing you've done since you began attending Dana?
I have so many great memories attending Dana. I would have to say being a coordinator of Student Activities. It is great planning activities throughout the year, such as Spring Fling mud volleyball, concerts, the Winterfest dinner/dance, hypnotists, movie nights and game shows!

Why did you choose Dana?
I chose Dana becuase its small size fit me really well and all the professors were really friendly and eager to help me. Even on my campus visits, I felt like they really cared. And they do. I plan to take what they have taught me for the rest of my life.

What's the best thing about being a student at Dana?
The best thing about being a student at Dana is knowing just about everybody. It makes for a better environment to live and learn in!

What will you remember most about your time at Dana?
What I will remember most about college life would have to be my friends and the good times we've had. My time at Dana has seemed to go by so quickly, and I cherish the fun memories I have of my friends and events we've done.

What's the best thing about living on campus?
I live in Blair Hall this year. The best thing about living on campus is that you get to know everyone in your residence hall. It's like a family. They really care and will help you with anything.

What do you and your friends enjoy doing?
My friends and I enjoy going to movies, hitting the mall and eating at neat restaurants.

What college class has been the most fun for you and why?
The college class that was the most fun for me was Sculpture I. My classmates made that class the best. For the class we had to make busts of heads out of caly and then plaster. One night we stayed up and had a late-night plaster fight while we were working on our busts! I had to wash my hair four times to get the plaster out! It was a blast!
