Tips for college success: Don’t be afraid to ask questions and use your resources—especially in these settings! Take advantage of the support given to students through as many facets as you can find, whether it’s academic support or support in life—we are here to help you!
My favorite UO fun fact: The Barden Bellas, from the movie ‘Pitch Perfect’, are inspired by the ÍøÆØÃÅ’s A Capella group, Divisi! #CrushedIt. 
Favorite campus and Eugene hangout: My favorite campus hangout is the Many Nations Longhouse! I love being in community, getting snacks, and feeling like I’m at my grandma’s house.
Special skills, talents, or hobbies: I love crafting and creating! I like to do nails and make gifts for my friends and family—whether it’s making gift boxes, ribbon skirts, bouquets, cards, or jewelry. I also love talking about languages, with a bias for Na:tinixwe Mixine:whe (Hupa Language) of course!
If you didn't work in UO Admissions: If I didn’t work in Admissions, I think I would be working towards becoming a Nail Technician!
