When asked about her overall thoughts about her UIC education she says, “I could not have chosen a better university to go to. UIC has allowed me to grow so much as a student and as a person. UIC provides many awesome opportunities both on-campus and off. Students simply need to reach out. My cousin, who is now a UIC alumna in medical school, was (is) a big influence on me. She persuaded me to attend UIC. She pushed me to give it my all when I was a freshman. She pushed me to get good grades, get involved, and even apply for the Honors College. I am so grateful that she believed in me.”
