What was your first impression of SNHU? Tell us about why you choose SNHU.

When I first visited SNHU I immediately recognized how beautiful the campus was. On top of that, everyone was incredibly friendly.

What was your hope in receiving a college education?  How has your experience been different than what you’d imagined?

I hope to one day own my own business. I didn’t realize how being part of the 3Year Honors Program would help expose me to the real world and push me to work harder than I ever have.

Many alumni and students talk about the friendly and supportive community at SNHU.  Does this resonate with you? In what ways has your SNHU experience felt “personal”?

My incredible experience at SNHU has been a direct result from how friendly everyone is to each other. I love that the campus is big, yet small enough to be able to recognize a handful of people on my way to class. Everyone says hello- even old professors I have had. It’s great passing by an old professor and stopping to catch up before I head to class.

Who at SNHU (teacher, coach, advisor, etc.) has been the biggest influence on your SNHU experience? What lessons did that person teach you?

Professor Anstey has had the greatest influence on my life. Not only has she been a role model for me, but she has also helped me discover my strengths. She taught my Intro to Marketing class, and although I did learn a great deal about marketing, I also realized that I have the ability to make my mark on this world. She pushed me to always give 100% and never submit any type of work without knowing I gave it my all.

What kind of student are you?

I am a hardworking student who believes you only get what you put in. I push myself very hard and with the help of my professors I have found a great deal of success here at SNHU.

What are you proudest of?

I am definitely proud I was selected to be a Presidential Ambassador. I worked incredibly hard my freshman year and even to be nominated was such an honor. I have done my best to leave a positive mark on this school, and I truly believe I will continue to do so.

Tell us about one of your best SNHU memories.

I gave a tour to a girl and her dad and at the end he told me that he hoped his daughter found success at SNHU like I have. He went on to say how he hoped his daughter chose SNHU because he believed in everything we stand for as a University. That was the best tour I had ever given, and at the end the girl told me SNHU moved up to her top choice.

What advice would you give to an incoming student?

Be open to getting involved in many things. Working in the Admission Office has allowed me to share my SNHU story with many different people. I also think being open to meet new people is important. I met my very best friend during the First Days and she and I went out of our way to meet more people. I now have a great group of friends and I am so happy I went out of my way to make friends.
