What is your favorite part of being a Butler student?
My favorite part of being a Butler student is the hands-on learning experiences I’ve received so far. Butler has so many interactive learning opportunities for every major. All the labs I’ve been a part of have taught me valuable skills, such as using a centrifuge, pipetting, and learning to use vacuum filtration. I also love the campus culture we all have and how everyone supports the sporting events.

 What do you want to do after graduation?
After graduation, I plan on attending Dental school to pursue a career in Dentistry.

How would your friends describe you?
My friends would describe me as a fun, energetic guy who loves being around people and as someone who would go above and beyond to help anyone.

Do you attend any sporting events at Butler? If so, do you have a favorite?
Yes! I attend soccer, volleyball, and basketball games.  My favorite would most likely be the basketball games! I love the atmosphere and seeing everyone supporting Butler.

What is your favorite student activity?
I would say giving tours to incoming students! I love being a tour guide and sharing my love for the University with students who are considering Butler as their potential school for undergrad.

What does your ideal day look like?
I’d wake up around 9:00 AM, then I’d eat breakfast at Starbucks with my friends while socializing for an hour. I would like to hang out with my girlfriend at Newfields and look at any new exhibits or new paintings. Then I’d come back to Butler and go play indoor soccer at the Health and Recreation Complex with my friends. Then I’d shower, eat dinner, and head to a Butler basketball game!

What is your favorite spot on campus?
Either the sunroom in Jordan Hall or the first floor of Irwin Library.
