I chose UMKC because they really care about making sure you get the most out of your education.
What piece of advice would you share with high school students or transfer students that are just beginning their college search process?
Make sure you go to college where you know you will be the most successful at.
How do you (or do you plan to) find balance between school and your personal life?
I plan to use a calendar to set aside time for my family and friends, so I am not just focusing on school and work.
What is your favorite thing about Kansas City? What parts of Kansas City are you excited to explore?
Kansas City is so beautiful, and I love going on top of big buildings and looking at its view. I am extremely excited to visit the World War I Museum. I have heard it is incredibly beautiful and cool to see!
