What’s one study tip that helps you succeed?
One study tip I recommend is starting to prepare for exams 7–10 days in advance. This gives you enough time to identify areas you don’t understand and attend office hours for clarification.
What’s your favorite hobby or way to spend free time?
My favorite way to spend my free time is weightlifting and listening to podcasts.
Where is your favorite place in Iowa City?
My favorite place in Iowa City is the rooftop at Joe’s.
Recommend a piece of media (music, movies, tv, books, etc.) to other students. Why this?
For recommendations, I have two:
o If you’re interested in financial markets, I recommend The Real Eisman Playbook.
o For music, I’ve been listening to Malcolm Todd recently. While he’s become popular for “Chest Pain (I Love),” I recommend “Bleed,” which features Omar Apollo.
Favorite thing about the honors program?
My favorite part about being in the Honors Program is having access to honors-level courses, where I can build more personal relationships with my professors.
