Advice for First-Year Biology/ES majors: I know this seems a little biased, but show up to SLC events to meet people in the major! It can be difficult to find each other in the huge required lectures when you’re just starting out, and knowing other ES majors really allows you to feel more at home.
Fun/interesting fact about yourself: I’ve been to the lowest and highest elevations in the contiguous United States: Badwater Basin (-282’) and Mount Whitney (14,505’)!
Favorite part about Notre Dame: Exploring the South Bend area and trying new food places. My current favorites are India Garden and Cloud Walking Coffee!
