FAQ 

Why Colorado State University-Fort Collins?

CSU is one of the top environmental universities in the nation, and I can map my appreciation for the environment all the way back to 5th grade in 2006-7 when I created a recycling system for my household. I chose CSU after taking an environmental class at my local community college.

Why major in Journalism and Media Communications?

I also wanted a major that would make me a strong communicator both verbally and in writing. I decided on Journalism because the major taught a lot of the skills I wanted to learn before going into the workforce including Adobe programs, social media, and web design.

​

What extracurriculars were you involved with?

Greek life, an extensive amount of volunteer work, and leadership conferences and retreats. I helped to put on and participated in a variety of empowerment workshops for women, men, and youth. For my spring breaks, I spent one in Cuba focusing on comparative politics and sustainability. For another, I went to Chicago, IL engaging in youth empowerment through education, self-awareness, and creative expression.

​

Within a month of graduating, I reached out to my previous employer to see if they'd be willing to let me occupy their vacant retail space for an Art Social. After hearing a yes, the event came to be Uncommon's most successful resident event with the highest community engagement and retention. I list this as an extracurricular because I coordinated everything for the event by myself unpaid.

For fun, I enjoy painting, reading, archery, hiking, paddle boarding, and playing volleyball. I like to try things that throw me out of my comfort zone and challenge the way I think. I am currently teaching myself how to play the piano and how to speak, read and write Korean and Spanish.
