What is Milwaukee's best-kept secret?
Milwaukee is made up of over 170 neighborhoods. Walker’s Point is one of those and such a fun neighborhood to explore! There is such a diverse range of places to grab a bite to eat.
What is one piece of advice you have for college applicants?
My advice for students is to be your authentic self in your application. We want to get to know you! Also, don’t be afraid to reach out to your admission counselor. We would love to help in any way we can in your college search.
How do you like your cheese?
I love cheese in so many different ways, but I think an old-fashioned grilled cheese with tomato soup is the best!
