About Me
I am very athletic and love playing soccer. I also love making people laugh with the kind of content I create. I am very open to working with people and learning new skills. I did my first year at SLU completely online with a 6-hour time difference!
Why I Chose SLU
Coming from a Jesuit high school, I felt that it’ll be a smooth transition from one Jesuit environment to another. SLU also gave the best financial aid that appropriately rewarded my academic achievements. SLU is also Division I school in the A-10 conference of the NCAA and I really wanted to be in a very sporty environment.
Highlights of My SLU Experience So Far
Learning more about some other religions in my theology class in my freshman year was very interesting. I have also coded and built a robot with the help of my group members in my engineering class.
What I Love Abut SLU's Campus
It is a medium sized college and is in close proximity to many food spots around the city.

Favorite Things About St. Louis
