What is your major?

Integrated Elementary and Special Education 

Why did you choose UMD?

I chose the University of Minnesota Duluth because I knew that offered an amazing education program and it is the only school across the state to offer this major/double licensure.

What do you like most about your program? 

I love how inclusive and connected the students within the major are to each other. I have never seen so much collaboration between a group of people!

What has been your most meaningful experience at UMD so far?

The most meaningful experience I have had throughout my years of college is when I joined the Aspiring Educators Organization on campus. When I did this I gained many opportunities that I was unable to be a part of before. 

What advice do you have for incoming students?

When you are starting your first year, find a few things that will help you be successful throughout your future. 

1. Find a place where you can study that works well for you. 

2. Find a club or organization where you are happy to spend your time and where you can make friends!

What do you like to do in your free time?

I enjoy watching Minnesota sports such as Twins Baseball, Vikings football, and the Minnesota Wild Hockey team.
