Why did you choose UW Bothell?

When I was applying to colleges, I knew I wanted to go to the UW, but I liked the small school environment. Then I heard about UW Bothell and immediately applied. I have the best of both worlds: a UW degree and a close-knit university.

What is unique about UW Bothell?

We pride ourselves for being a green campus. About a year ago, our campus rented goats to clear out the bushes instead of using machinery. It was fun to watch them work and eat at the same time.

I serve as the Director of Student Advocacy for UW Bothell Student Government. I also sit on the Services and Activities Fee Committee and the Chancellor’s Cabinet. In terms of work, I am a Student Tour Guide and Lead Orientation Advisor.
