  1. What schools did you apply to?

I applied to University of Pittsburgh, Duquesne University, Pennsylvania State University, University of Scranton, West Chester University, and University of South Carolina

  1. Where did you commit to, and why?

Come graduation spring of 2029 I hope to commission as a 2nd lieutenant in the army through Duquesne University’s Army ROTC program and work on getting my degree to become a Nurse Anesthetist after two years of Nursing. 

During my time at Duquesne I hope to work on research.

I am most excited to meet new people and explore Pittsburgh!
