Advice for the Future Boilermaker
It's completely okay to change your mind! This year, take the chance to discover more about yourself. Explore what you like, what you don't like, and what truly matters to you. As you learn and grow, you might find that your journey takes you down a different path. And that's perfectly fine.
Remember to prioritize your well-being - it's important! You need to take care of yourself first before you can fully focus and learn in the classroom.
Fun Facts
- My husband, Jeff, is the chef in our house - trust me, no one wants to eat whatever I make! We have two kids, Zoë and Charlie. Zoë will be graduating from Purdue this August with a degree in UX Design, and Charlie will be a senior at Harrison High School, where he's a member of the swim team.
- I came to Purdue as a student and never left—West Lafayette isn’t so bad!
