Fun Fact: I am passionate about maintaining an active lifestyle through regular workouts and physical activities as well as traveling!
Why I chose Trinity: I began my academic journey at a large university but very quickly realized that the environment did not align with my learning style. During my campus visit and interview at Trinity, the sense of community, support, and genuine kindness from both the faculty and students was evident, and the perfect place to call home.

Why I chose Trinity: During my search for transfer admissions, I had the opportunity to visit friends who were already attending Trinity.

Everyone was incredibly welcoming and supportive throughout my transfer process, from beginning to end.
