Why I love Marygrove
I fell in love with the Marygrove campus when I attended Kids’ College as an eight year old. The campus is beautiful and everyone is friendly, but the best thing is Marygrove's commitment to students and the community at large. Urban Leadership starts here!

What I think is so great for students
One of the things I like about Marygrove is that the students actually have a voice on campus and are encouraged to use it everyday. The students work side-by-side with faculty and are challenged to be innovators and leaders. Time and time again, students tell me that, for the first time, they feel part of something and are making a difference.

About my family
My parents live right down the street from Marygrove College. I am the youngest of five siblings.

Why Detroit?
I love Detroit because there is never a dull moment. I’m a sports fanatic and Detroit has all the best teams: Red Wings, Pistons, Tigers, and yes, even the Lions are doing their thing! The Marygrove Mustangs men’s and women’s basketball teams aren’t bad either! Detroit also offers top entertainment, fine dining and great educational institutions like Marygrove. The cost of living is pretty reasonable compared to other major cities

Something people don’t know about me
I like to play my music loud in the morning. It wakes me up!
