Year I joined Baylor Admissions: 2023

Hometown: Broomfield, CO

Favorite thing about Baylor: My favorite thing about Baylor is all of the traditions. There is always something going on around campus that makes you feel at home, whether it be Homecoming, All University Thanksgiving, or Christmas on Fifth. These traditions are something that made Baylor feel like my family, and I look forward to them every year!

Favorite place in Waco: My favorite place in Waco is Be Kind Coffee! They have the best coffee, and the best mission - to spread kindness! As a student, I loved to study here. Now, it is my favorite place to catch up with friends and enjoy a latte!

What inspires me: My family! They have shown me how to live a life full of love, hard work, and determination.

Favorite hobbies: I love going on walks with my dogs on campus! It is so fun to get some fresh air and exercise while enjoying Baylor's beautiful campus. I also love finding new coffee shops to check out - there is an endless supply of them here in Waco!

Fun facts about me: I had no idea where I wanted to go to college. I toured about 15 different colleges around the United States and Baylor was the very last one. The second I stepped foot on Baylor campus I knew it was meant to be!

My advice to you: Come see Baylor's campus! Before I visited, I didn't know if it would be a good fit for me. Once I was here, I felt and home and knew that it was the place for me!
