What Is Your Most Memorable Experience at Central College Thus Far? My summer research experience has been so much fun! I was able to get a feel for independent scholarship, and it clarified my values/purpose, which made me really excited to continue the psych track.

What Do You Enjoy About Being a Student Ambassador? I love being able to chat with students about their goals and what they hope to achieve at Central. It’s especially meaningful when I meet a fellow social science student or honors student and I can share about all of the great opportunities Central has afforded me.

What Is Your Favorite Thing About Pella/Iowa? Pella feels like a Hallmark town. During the winter holidays, there is a big Christmas tree, sleigh rides around the square and hot chocolate sold on street corners. I also love Tulip Time and being able to see the community come to life while celebrating their Dutch heritage.
