What is your favorite part about ATI?
It's hard to choose just one favorite part of ATI because this place is more than just a college to me—it's a community. The hands-on technical education and the learning atmosphere are exceptional, but what stands out the most is the sense of belonging. ATI is a place where people genuinely support one another, and it's that support that makes the connections here last. As Carmen Ohio says, "How firm thy friendship," and that couldn’t be more true. These friendships are strong because they’re rooted in a community that lifts you up, challenges you, and helps you grow into the best version of yourself. That’s the real power of ATI— the people who believe in the students.
What is a superpower you wish you had? Why?
If I could choose a superpower, it would be teleportation—the ability to be anywhere, anytime. My love for travel and experiencing new places would make this the ultimate gift. I could explore so much more of the world, effortlessly, with no limits to where I could go or what I could experience.
Where is your favorite place to vacation?
I have a love for traveling out west, and Bozeman, Montana, is one of my favorite places.
Who is your hero?
I consider my grandpa to be my hero. His mindset and approach to life have influenced me in so many ways. He lived with simplicity, always finding joy in the little things, and that example continues to inspire me. I admire his wisdom and the unconditional love he shared, both of which will always be a part of who I am.
