Why did you decide to come to Ball State?

I came to Ball State for a few different reasons. My parents both grew up in Muncie, and had nothing but positive things to say about Ball State. I loved the size of the campus and it was a perfect distance from my hometown. Most importantly, I chose BSU due to the awesome Communication program they have. With this being my third year, I can confirm that the Comm department is incredible! I am so happy with my decision to come to Ball State!

How is your work in Business Affairs shaping your academic experience?

Working in Business Affairs has been such an amazing opportunity. It has shaped my academic experience, because it has allowed me to learn time management as well as balancing more things than just classes. Coming into work is something I always look forward to! The people that work within this office inspire me and I think being surrounded by a positive work atmosphere brings relevance to my future career goals! I have gained so much while working within Business Affairs and will always be grateful for this experience!

Share any additional information about your experience, a fun fact about yourself, or both.

Working within Business Affairs has allowed me to love Ball State even more! I love being surrounded by people who have so much BSU pride! I am involved in a sorority on campus, Chi Omega, which is an outlet to show my pride for this school and community! Chi Omega has been so fulfilling and has allowed me to grow in so many ways, while at BSU.
