What’s your favorite book? Movie? Show?

Book: Rich Dad Poor Dad

Show: Nathan For You, a TV so funny and raw, you hope it’s a joke… but it’s not.

​

Favorite song? Artist?

My all time favorite song is 90210 by Travis Scott & Kacy Hill. I love this song so much, I designed a t-shirt around it! My favorite artist is either Travis Scott or Kanye West! I love them both equally with all of my musical heart.

​

What do you do on your free time? How do you relax? 

In my free time, I love watching and playing basketball! Other than that, I enjoy other recreational activities, straight vibing with music, and experiencing new experiences!

​

What motivates you?

Deadlines, failure, mediocrity.

​

Where are you from?

​I have lived all over the Twin Cities; Downtown St. Paul, Uptown, North Minneapolis, Roseville, East St. Paul

​

What are your values?

I value open-mindedness and integrity. Are you open to ideas that clash with your own? Are you true to who you are and your values, at home..?

​

Why did you join HMSA?

​I joined HMSA to find community at the University. UMN TC is a massive school, and without a community of like-minded people with similar experiences that can relate to you, campus life can be really really difficult. My aunt said to me once: “In college, you gotta find people to suffer with!”

​

What are your hopes/aspirations/goals?

My goal is to become everything that I want to be, achieve every dream that I’ve ever had, see every city, town, and country I’ve said I wanted to visit, and to succeed by crushing my own expectations.
