What is your favorite thing to do in Aberdeen?

I love to go on walks in the morning or afternoon because the sunsets are beautiful. I also love to eat out and hang out with friends.

My favorite thing about NSU is...

The people! Everyone including the professors are so kind and they truly care about you and want you to succeed.

Other people would describe me as...

A little shy at first but also outgoing. Hopefully kind as well. I always try to be kind and understanding with everyone because you never know what someone might be going through.

Why did you choose Northern?

I chose Northern because I heard great things about the school in general, the business program and the professors, my education and my future is important to me and Northern is a hands-on learning environment and I know they can help me get to where I want to be.

The person I look up to most is...

My family. Each one of them, especially my parents, have taught me to look at things from a different perspective and to never give up! My family is my inspiration and my motivation.

When I'm not working, I am...

I am usually with friends and we like to eat together or even just hang out. I also sleep whenever I have extra free time.

What has been your biggest achievement in life so far?

Being able to make my parents proud. My parents never had the opportunities I have and so any opportunity I get, I take it. Everything I do is for them.

One of my bucket list items is...

Being able to travel to all countries and experience the different cultures, taste new foods, and go to art or historical museums.

I could not live without...

My family and my dogs! Also, honey... it has good benefits, you can put it in coffee and tea, or even use it as a face mask.

As a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?

I wanted to be in a band, be the lead singer, and be the leader of the group. I also wanted to be a YouTuber and I would always make videos for my non-existent YouTube channel.

A motto I live by is...

"Maybe I made a mistake yesterday, but yesterday's me is still me. I am who I am today, with all of my faults and mistakes. Tomorrow I might be a tiny bit wiser, and that will be me too. These faults and mistakes are what I am, making up the brightest stars in the constellation of my life. I have come to love myself for who I was, who I am, and for who I hope to become." -RM

A favorite memory with my friends on campus:

All of us just hanging out, going to events, and going to the Brown County Fair and eating food and riding the rides!

Tell me about a cool opportunity you've had at NSU:

All the amazing people I have met and the support they have shown me! Knowing I have people to help me and are there for me comforts me, because I can feel homesick sometimes, but being with them makes me feel at home.

My best piece of advice for students considering NSU is...

Don't be scared. We are here to help you and guide you! You are not alone! You are loved and appreciated and we will make sure you become successful!
