Where do you see yourself in 10 years?: In 10 years, I will be 30 (woah) so I would definitely like to be employed and living on my own. Most importantly, I want to live a healthy, happy and fit lifestyle so I can also start my own little family.
What made you choose HPU?: As a transfer student from Redlands, California, I was very unsure of what to expect from a new school but somehow I knew I needed change. I wanted to experience more diversity and learn about different cultures; and that is exactly what you get while attending HPU. I'm so grateful to have made the transition because now I am closer to home, and I can live my lifestyle a little more comfortably. HPU also has a great women's tennis program, which I am lucky to be a part of!
