- Advice for Underclassmen: “One thing I didn’t fully grasp as a freshman is how much better college goes if you sit down and focus early in the day. The schoolwork can feel overwhelming as a freshman, but if you focus and work efficiently, you can easily be done with work at a reasonable time. Doing so lets you have a lot more fun uptown and with friends. Â There’s too much going on at Miami to spend time procrastinating on Facebook.”

- Advice for Underclassmen: “Take advantage of every opportunity that Miami offers. More importantly, I would tell them to ensure that they maintain balance between their academic responsibilities, their co-curricular responsibilities, and what they do for fun. A proper balance between professionalism and recreation enables students to fully appreciate their college experience.”

- Advice for Underclassmen: “Start the job search early. It is true that the early bird gets the worm. Build your resume towards the profession of your dreams and make connections early. You have to reach for the stars and never lose sight of what you want to accomplish. One of my favorite quotes sums it up best. “One today is worth two tomorows; what I am to be, I am now becoming.” Benjamin Franklin”
