What is your favorite memory from your time at WVU?
I have so many good memories from my time at WVU! The WVU vs Pitt backyard brawl was one of my top favorite memories, and the Mountaineers won this game!
Which person at WVU has had the biggest impact on your college experience? How has that person helped you?
Dr. Ashleigh Barrickman has had the biggest impact on me throughout pharmacy school. She always brought a positive energy to the classroom and was willing to help students with anything. I had the pleasure of having her as a preceptor for one of my rotations, and she has inspired me to want to teach, at some point in my career!
As a soon-to-be graduate, what is your best advice for incoming students?
Work hard and put your best effort into school, but don’t forget to have fun! Graduation might seem like it is far away, but trust me, it will be here before you know it. Live in the moment and don’t stress too much about your future because everything will work itself out.
What will you miss most about WVU?
I will miss tailgating before football games the most! The atmosphere on game days is crazy fun, and I have so many memories tailgating and going to football games. I will never forget these memories, and I will always be cheering for the Mountaineers!
