Why Wesleyan?
I was a transfer student and found that Wesleyan had a program I was interested in, and even though I didn’t know anyone, everyone was friendly and helpful.

What are your hobbies?
Writing music, doing short films and seeing movies

I value ...
my family and my friends. God has really helped me so much in my life so far, and I’m thankful for everything he has brought to me.

My most important experience was ...
meeting my group of friends in my second year at Wesleyan. They really have made my college experience incredible. I really feel like half of college is learning; the other half is interacting with your peers and growing as a person, and I owe this half to my closest friends.

Ten years from now ...
I hope to be either playing my music under a label or working for a film company. These are really my two passions, and I would love to have the opportunity to do either.

I never imagined ...
that Dakota Wesleyan would help me so much in so many different areas of my life. This school has really turned me into a better, more well-rounded person over the last few years. It’s a place I get to study a subject I love and be with my very best friends. I never imagined that I would be talking that way about a school.
