Why do you love FSU?

I love Frostburg because it gave me a sense of community, knowledge, diversity, and amongst other things - purpose!

Why do you give back (time, talent and/or treasure) to FSU?

When it is all said and done, I really want to have a positive impact in the FSU community. I firmly believe in modeling what you want to see in others – compassion and a positive influence on another person.

What do you do for fun?

For fun, I like to cater to my side business (Crafting with Indy) I do outside of my 9-5. I also like to spend time with my family and friends, travel, binge watch a series, or go shopping (window shopping is still fun).

Tell us about a class or activity at FSU that has had a surprising effect on your life.

The Presidents Leadership Circle allowed me to interact with classmates I may not have otherwise and we formed a bond with the president of the university and had the opportunity to travel abroad. It started my passion for traveling.

What is your favorite memory of your time as a Frostburg student?

I have so many favorite memories, but one I’ll mention is homecoming 2014. It was the best homecoming at Frostburg. We had a comedian come, there were step performances, and the homecoming dance was so much fun! As a student, it made me appreciate the school I went to because they made sure we enjoyed ourselves that weekend.
