Last time visited campus: April 2019 (Spring ISE Alumni & Advisory board meeting)

Favorite college memory: March Madness 2005 and joining thousands of Illini on Green St after the finals. We might not have won, but the campus was abuzz with spirit and was a site to see. Really happy I got to share that memory with my older brother, also an Illini.

Advice you would give to your college self: Try not to worry so much about studying for the test and the grade as getting the most out of the learning experience. Take advantage of every single opportunity you can, both academic and personal, and don't wait until Senior Year to check off that campus bucket list.

Additional comments: I have so many great memories as an Illini, and am grateful that it helped set the stage for a career in an industry I love.
