What is the best thing about Lewis?
The best thing about Lewis is that you are able to not only be a number in the classroom, but have a personal connection with your professors.
Why did you choose Lewis?
I chose Lewis because I loved that every classroom was within walking distance, and it was a good place to make friends whether you were living on campus or if you were a commuter. Lewis always offers activities to make their students feel like they matter and ease their college experience.
What inspired you to study your major?
I always wanted to be involved in something that helps people or the community somehow. I think that my major is something that people will always need and I would be honored to help them!
What do you do for fun at the University?
I enjoy going to the Student Center or Flyer's Den to have fun with my friends! I am also now a member of the Delta Sigma Pi Zeta Xi Chapter, so I spend most of my evenings with my co-ed fraternity.
What would you like to say to everyone who has supported you throughout your journey at Lewis?
I would like to give a big THANK YOU! Without your help, I would not be the person that I am today. Thank you for the advice and for always guiding me to choose what is best for me. Thank you for making my college experience one for the books!
What is one fun fact about you?
A fun fact about me is that I was born and raised in Puerto Rico, and I moved to Illinois 6 years ago.
