Why he chose Behrend: I love the Wintergreen Gorge and the entire outdoor scene here at Behrend.

Campus involvement: Accounting Club, International Business Club, Delta Sigma Pi, Business Ambassadors, and Behrend Theatre.
Proudest accomplishment at Behrend: Honestly, my proudest accomplishment will be walking across the stage at commencement. I never thought I would be able to do it.
Challenges overcome: I have struggled with severe mental health throughout most of my life. The fact that I am still here and about to graduate is amazing to me.
