Why did you choose CAADatMSU?

I knew I wanted to go into architecture early in high school, and after touring multiple programs, MSU had the ideal studio environment I wanted to pursue. There are enough people to collaborate, but not so many that I feel like just a number to my professors. Overall, I feel I made the correct choice when choosing CAAD at MSU, as it seems to be the program that just “clicks” with me.

Favorite spot on campus?

I’d have to say maybe the Giles library. It’s quiet and cozy with large windows for lots of warm natural light. Anywhere in Giles really is where I feel most at home on campus.

If you could go back and tell your high school self one thing, what would it be?

Just wait for college. It’s way better than high school.

These are a few of my favorite things ….

Coffee, Dogs, Uni-Ball Signo 205 pens, Flowers, Dinosaurs, Baking
