What is your favorite place on campus? Why?
My favorite place is a toss-up between our two newest facilities on campus. I took one of my last MBA classes in our new Business Leadership Building and I loved it! There’s a really nice atrium area where students hang out all the time, a huge computer lab with free printing and even a coffee shop with Starbucks coffee. There are tons of group rooms that are free to check out and those were really helpful when working on projects. I also LOVE our football stadium, Apogee. The energy at our very first game there was one of the best things I’ve experienced in my time at UNT. I’m a huge North Texas football (and basketball) fan so you’ll see me there at every game, normally with signs!
What is your favorite place/thing to do in Denton? Why?
I have so many! I love Mi Casita salsa, shredded beef soft tacos from Fuzzy’s, chocolate chip pancakes from Seven Mile Café and Scrappy’s ice cream (made by UNT Dining Services). In the interest of talking about something other than food, Denton has so many fun things to do. I go to the square often to shop at La Di Da, Shoe Fly and to just hang out. I think Denton has such a different feel from other places I’ve lived. It’s easy to be you here and people are going to like you for it.
What advice do you have for prospective students?
College is all about taking initiative and being brave. That was one of the hardest things for me my first week here. I had to leave my room in order to meet people (seems obvious, I know). Once I made myself be a little brave, it changed my college experience forever. I became an RA, Eagle Ambassador and then an Admissions Counselor because of the connections I had made on campus. So, be brave your first weeks here. Get out and attend the events in your hall and on campus. And if you ever need a friend, feel free to stop by and see me anytime!
Who do you like more? Deep Blue Something, Eli Young Band, or Bowling for Soup?
No contest- Eli Young Band. Their song “Crazy Girl” is one of my all-time favorites!
