Why I chose my major

My grandmother instilled an interest in interiors and design at an early age. I spent many summers with her creating arts and crafts projects and rearranging rooms in both her home and mine. Choosing furnishings and interiors as my major was an easy decision thanks to her.

What I like most about FACS

My favorite part of FACS is that it can make a large campus seem small. I was able to build close relationships with both students and faculty members.

Post-graduation plans

After graduation, I will be moving to Kalispell, Montana to pursue my career in interior design by working alongside a designer.
