The Pointer UW-Stevens Point Student Newspaper
Q: What are your aspirations after you graduate? 
A: After graduation, I plan to work at Kwik Trip till the end of the year to save up for a big move. I am looking into going to graduate school for either social work or family studies to help me land a career in human services or a related field that involves serving the community. My ideal graduate school is Syracuse University in New York, but I have also looked in the University of Minnesota and schools in Missouri. My goal is to move somewhere new because I want to grow more as a person and see new places and people.
Q: Where do you see yourself five years down the road?
A: I am not 100 percent sure at this point what I will be doing, but I do know that it will be something that will make a difference. I love helping people and that is what I want to do in my life. I am not looking for a job that makes a lot of money, but a job that is rewarding in a way money could never fulfill.
Q:How has your time here changed you as a person?
A: When I came to Stevens Point, I was shy and did not really branch out much. Thanks to my friends, professors and opportunities, I am more willing to step up and take charge. I’ve grown as a leader, and taken on leadership roles within organizations and job positions. I’ve taken on projects I would have avoided before I came to UWSP.
Q: What advice would you give to incoming students?
A: Get involved. Try everything that interests you until you find a few to commit to. I am so happy I got involved early and found a place on this campus. Also, take advantage of trips that are offered. I went to a Lakota Reservation. That trip was no comparison to any class you can take. It opened a new world for me.
