Favorite Inspirational Quote: “Do what you can, with what you have, where you are” – Theodore Roosevelt

Advice for First-Year Students: “College is such a unique time because you’re learning a little bit how to be an adult. You’re learning how to take care of yourself without parental influence, and you’re exposed to so many great minds. I feel like I didn’t even know how to think until I got to college.” — Anne Hathaway
