"Thank you to those who support student scholarships! Your generosity allows us to better ourselves for the future."

What do you like most about SNHU?

The campus life and driven staff.

How do the scholarships and financial aid you receive make it possible for you to attend SNHU? Specifically, how have scholarships made a difference?

As someone who does not come from a lot of money, scholarships allows me to focus on my education without the stress of worrying about student loans.

What would you say to those who donate to support student scholarships?

Thank you to those who support student scholarships! Your generosity allows us to better ourselves for the future.

Why did you choose Southern New Hampshire University?

The campus life and caring staff.

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

I wanted the chance to further my understanding of the hospitality industry and SNHU has gone above and beyond to help me reach that goal. My professors truly care for me and my future, which has set me up for success post-graduation.

What inspired you to choose your area of study? What is your dream job?

I've always loved the restaurant industry, and after four years of training in back of the house work, I knew it would be beneficial to learn the front of the house operations as well. I'd love to be a restaurant owner one day and have the chance to share everything I've learned with the next generations of hospitality professionals.

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

Dr. Susan Torrey has coached me to be the best I possibly can be over the past year. She has helped me through classes as well as set me up for success in the future in the restaurant industry.

In what ways have you been involved at SNHU (campus organizations, job, sports, etc.)?

I work at the student-run café on campus in the Hospitality Center.

What do you find most challenging? How do you deal with this?

Organization has long been my biggest struggle. However, this past year has forced me to overcome this shortcoming, as I was taking many classes as well as working a full-time job.

What are you proudest of?

I'm proudest of how far I've come as a human being from my freshman year. I feel like a completely different person from that point.

In what ways do you want/hope to stay involved as an SNHU graduate?

I want to provide the enrolled students with help in any way I can as an alumnus — whether it be in job searches or interviews for a class project.
