Tell
me about your major:
Architecture is a major that will allow you not only
to be an architect, there are so many opportunities
that you can enjoy. One reason I chose this major is
because I am interested in set/scenic design for the
theatre, and some of the best set designers are
architects. We build models, sketch non-stop,
observe everything and anything to find our next
concept for our projects, and enjoy each other’s
company in the studio hours upon hours at a time.
It’s what makes it great!
Why did you become an Ambassador?
I became an Ambassador because I want other
students and new students to really enjoy our
campus. Philadelphia University is more than just a
college campus, it’s an experience.
Are you a member of any clubs or organizations?
Most certainly. I am currently the Chapter
President of the American Institute of Architecture
Students (AIAS) on campus, a Resident Assistant (RA)
on campus, my second year; I am the Stage Manager
and acting in the Vagina Monologues, it’s my third
year involved in Gemini Theatre, last year was the
Project Producer. Also, helping start DCMS, the
Design Coalition for Minority Students, on campus.
And I am in the Honors Program, I think that’s the
end of my list.
What do you like about Philadelphia University?
I love the environment here, from my studies and
program, to the studio, the people, organizations,
professors, and our location. I love how we’re not
quite in the city but close enough to be right in
it. I love all the things I can do on campus to
really make difference and above all the support of
both students and professors to really grow on
campus as a student and an individual.
Do you have any advice for prospective students
on tour?
Never shy away from questions. Just ask, I have
no problem asking questions. Also, let us know what
you want to see. Let us know your major and we’ll
show you want you need to know for your major. I
love to show students where they will be working and
taking classes.
What
do you like to do in your free time?
Enjoy the city. See shows, walk around the city
until no end, and just breathe everything in. Oh
yeah, and SLEEP.
Do you like Philadelphia cheesesteak? If so,
where can I find the best cheesesteak?
Yes I do. But I couldn’t really tell you where
you can find the best. There are so many places to
go to.
