Profile Picture

Words I use to describe North Central students: North Central students are compassionate, welcoming, and supportive. Each student leads with kindness and works hard to cultivate our energetic campus atmosphere. 

Naperville "Must Do, See, or Eat" locations: My favorite places to eat are Fiamme and Egg Harbor! Both places have cozy vibes and great outdoor seating options. I also firmly believe that Fiamme has the best margherita pizza in all of Naperville! Downtown Naperville also has plenty of places to get ice cream, but my favorite has to be Kilwins. I also enjoy going to Centennial Beach during the summer for weekend float mornings. It's a very relaxing way to kick off your weekend and a great spot to listen to the Carillon bells! 

Favorite Season in Naperville: Fall in Naperville is the most gorgeous time of year by far! The Riverwalk is always so pretty as the leaves change and there are always fun events going on downtown. Whether its a concert at Naper Settlement, a North Central Football Game, or enjoying a pumpkin coffee beverage, there is something exciting and perfectly whimsical for everyone! 

What do you like to do in your free time? Going on walks with friends, baking (oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are my specialty), and crafting are some of my favorites! I also am a huge fan of sitcoms and really enjoy Modern Family and Parks and Recreation.

Advice to students: Do it scared! While this next phase of your life can feel intimidating, I promise it will be one of the most transformative and rewarding experiences yet. Find the places you feel at home in, get involved in things that interest you, and know that you are exactly where you need to be.
