Success Tip
Accommodate your learning style as much as possible and find strategies that make your studying and classroom time most effective! Using your strengths to your advantage can create easier pathways to success.
Interests/Hobbies
I love rock climbing at the local gyms in Grand Rapids along with going on outdoor climbing trips across the country. I'm also big into crocheting, thrifting vintage items, and playing video games that I can use to connect with friends and family.
Favorite Place at GRCC
My favorite place on campus is the College Success Center because the staff here are so welcoming and we always have snacks and coffee for students!
