Why did you join SG? I joined SG because I was encouraged by former SG leadership and SF staff. Seeing how Santa Fe has contributed to my growth, I am eager to help Santa Fe support the student body and community.
Why Santa Fe College? Leaving high school, universities weren't appealing. Accumulating student debt wasn't attractive, especially since I was unsure what I wanted to study. With high expectations, Santa Fe offered down-to-earth advisement and many resources to help me figure out my professional path.
Interests & Hobbies: My hobbies include exercise (strength training, rock climbing, longboarding), playing games, drawing, reading, and burning incense.
What advice would you tell a first-year student? I have four pieces of advice. The first is to check your Santa Fe email frequently. Many opportunities float through our Santa Fe emails, and many students miss out on beneficial internships, scholarships, and grants. Second, know that Santa Fe wants you to succeed. As students, it’s our responsibility to give proper feedback to the college to help improve SF’s college experience. Thirdly, plan out your week so you won’t have to rely so hard on your memory. Doing this will reduce your general stress because now you have time for everything you want. Finally, if you’re overwhelmed with your work, start with the easiest things to get out of the way. Before you know it, you'll be well into your work.
