What is your favorite restaurant in Milwaukee?
There are so many to choose from, but my favorite restaurant is Tauro Cocina near Brady Street. It is a Mexican-Italian fusion restaurant. I can get something different on the menu every time and still be amazed. I always make an effort to visit when I come back to Milwaukee.
What is your favorite memory from your time as a student at Marquette?
Being a campus tour guide was a highlight of my undergraduate years! I loved sharing my Marquette moments with prospective students, and the other tour guides quickly became some of my closest friends around campus.
As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
Growing up, I wanted to be a teacher—just like my mom. I admired how she helped her students learn and made them feel seen and supported. I would play ‘school’ at home and pretend to grade papers or lead lessons.
