Hometown: Iowa City, Iowa
Major: Genetics
Year: Senior
Hobbies: Running, eating cookie dough, playing D&D, and cheering for the Cyclones
Favorite experience in the Genetics Program: My favorite experience so far was going to the pumpkin carving event at Reiman Gardens. I had a ton of fun with other genetics majors outside of classes, especially listening to the new Red album with all of my new friends in the car on the way.
Favorite part of being a peer mentor: love being a peer mentor because I get to help new students find their place at ISU like my peer mentor did for me, while making tons of new friends in my major.
