What do you like best about being a PAL?

I love being able connect with so many new students and being able to help them navigate the complexities of their first semester. I also love the opportunity I have to help educate them on important topics like emotional intelligence.

What advice do you have for new students?

I would encourage all new students to follow their passion and to go into each and everything they do with an open mind. It鈥檚 okay to have expectations, but just be open to the idea that things might be different than you expect or that they might change. And if they do, let them. It鈥檚 important to not fight that change but to grow with it.

Favorite 91制片厂 Manchester memory?

In my second English class, after my professor had described the first assignment, she stated that we could collaborate with someone. Directly after, this girl that I had only spoken to maybe twice turned around and looked at me and immediately we knew we were working together. Writing those papers turned out to be way more fun than it should have, and that girl turned out to become one of my best friends.

What鈥檚 your favorite class and why?

I would have to say that my favorite class was Introduction to Psychology with Professor Nicholas Mian. This was the first class I had ever taken where I felt a real passion for the subject, and genuinely enjoyed going to classes. And right after I completed the course, I changed my major to psychology.

What do you hope to be doing in 10 years?听

I hope to be serving as a psychology professor at a university, teaching psychology courses and conducting research of my own.
