Why I love UD/Why I Recruit for UD: I spent four years at UD, and those four years made me not only a better student, a better Catholic and a better friend, it formed me into a better person. The holistic education that UD offers doesn’t end in the classroom, it flows out into the church and to the community in a way that is truly unique. It’s a gift in the truest sense of the word. I can’t keep that gift for myself, though; I want to share it with others! That’s what I hope to do as an admissions counselor.

Favorite Spot on Campus: Cappuccino Bar- the prices are great, but the conversations and laughter are priceless.

Where Do You Hang Out in Dallas? I am a huge baseball fan so I plan to be out at the beautiful new Globe Life Park in Arlington whenever there’s an exciting series being played. 

Favorite Book: Spe Salvi by Pope Benedict XVI

Favorite Place to Eat in DFW: Vidorra- some awesome Mexican food in Deep Ellum!

Favorite UD Event: Charity Week

Favorite/Coolest Place I have Visited: Avila, Spain and Assisi, Italy

Advice to Prospective Students: Make the most of your time as an undergraduate- it is a truly special time in your life that will give you memories, friendships and lessons that will last you a lifetime. Study hard, but remember to have fun and really enjoy the time you have at UD. It’s a special place and a special time; don’t take it for granted!
