Advice for First-Year Biology/ES majors: Get to know the people in your classes; you will be seeing them often in many other classes over your four years at Notre Dame and they (along with upperclassmen) can be a great resource as you study and navigate your classes and college in general.
Fun/interesting fact about yourself: I have never had coffee before.
Favorite part about Notre Dame: The dorm culture, the catholic character and of course, gamedays.
