Favorite memory or impactful experience: Giving tours and participating in Ambassadors has been one of the most impactful experiences of my time at Purdue. I got to meet so many people from all over the country while also sharing my experiences with them. To add to the impact, my oral presentation skills are incomparable to what they would be without constantly talking to large groups of people.
