What is your favorite ethnic festival in Milwaukee?
Hands down, my favorite Milwaukee festival is Polish Fest. The non-stop polka paired with kielbasa, sauerkraut, and pierogies on the lakefront sets a perfect scene for the largest Polish festival in America.
What is the best thing about Marquette?
One of the first things that attracted me to Marquette is its vast sense of community. In my time as a student, this attraction was upheld with great support from peers, professors, and alumni. Everyone wants to see each student succeed personally, professionally, and academically. The connections I have made as a part of the Marquette community have shaped me into the person I am today!
If you could be on a reality tv show, which one would you choose and why?
I have always wanted to be a contestant on The Amazing Race. I love competition and travel, and this combines them perfectly. It would be so fun to travel with a partner across the world and experience different cultures while getting out of my comfort zone.
