Why I love CSUF?  I love the fast-paced environment and the openness of the students and faculty on campus.

Why is Freshman Programs important to you? It is a great resource for students transitioning into the most exciting time if their lives. Although I was not personally a part of the program as a freshman, I see the great opportunities it gives students and I hope my mentees take full advantage!

Fun/Interesting Fact: I’ve had the opportunity to meet Warren Buffett and Snoop Dogg (so random)

Advice you would like to give to freshmen: Don’t be shy :)
