I chose UMKC because of its welcoming community, the opportunities in a vibrant city, and the chance to grow both academically and personally.
What piece of advice would you share with high school students or transfer students that are just beginning their college search process?
Don’t just focus on the academic programs, visit campuses, talk to students, and find a place where you feel you belong. It makes all the difference!
How do you (or do you plan to) find balance between school and your personal life?
I prioritize by keeping a schedule, setting boundaries, and making sure I carve out time for self-care, friends, and activities I enjoy.
What is your favorite thing about Kansas City? What parts of Kansas City are you excited to explore?
I love how Kansas City has something for everyone from coffee shops and art galleries to beautiful parks and lively neighborhoods. I’m excited to explore more local restaurants, hidden gems in West Bottoms, and all the streetcar stops downtown!
