Get to Know Your Counselor

Who has had the greatest influence on your life?

My parents have had the greatest influence in my life. They are an excellent example of a God-fearing man and woman of God. I know there were A LOT of times I didn't agree with them or even understandy why they did some of the things they did, but now I see that it was all for "my good." I thank God for them everyday.

What is your favorite place on campus? Why?

My favorite place on campus is the bookstore, there's so MUCH stuff you can buy there! Clothes ;-), junk food, and also good reading!!!!

What advice would you give to your incoming students?

I would love to pass down some advice I received at the start of my college life, "Don't take the opportunities and experiences you have at Biola for granted. College is just a minute in the scheme of your whole life, enjoy every moment of it!"
