What is your favorite thing about LeTourneau?

My favorite thing about LeTourneau has to be the close-knit community and the relationships that have formed because of it. I have made so many friends over the course of my education here, not only with students, but with faculty and staff as well. I am very grateful to have made these meaningful connections during my time as a student and to now be a LETU staff with these great people that I have gotten to know over the years.

College searching advice for high school students?

Find a community that you believe you can thrive in. College is a time of growth and learning, not only in terms of your education, but also for yourself. Being surrounded by good community will become a cornerstone in your growth into "adulting".

Favorite quote or Bible verse?

My favorite quote is from a book called Oathbringer by Brandon Sanderson, "If I must fall, I will rise each time a better man."

My favorite Bible verse is 1 Corinthians 16:13-14 (ESV), "Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love."

Favorite local business?

Has to be Silver Grizzly Espresso, hands down. Silver Grizzly provides not only a great social/study space but also provides the best coffee in all of Longview. If you are a coffee snob, like me, Silver Grizzly will find its way into your favorites very fast.

Fun fact about you?

Kayaking is my all-time favorite outdoor activity. I love being on any river, but my favorite is the Buffalo River in Arkansas.
