Favorite Thing About Whitworth: Professors – they genuinely care about you both in and out of the classroom. Campus is surrounded by so much greenery and it gives you the sense you are in the woods. Intramural sports are a fun way to stay active and take a break from school.
 
Advice for Whitworth Applicants: Visit campus while school is in session and don’t be afraid to reach out to Whitworth faculty and staff.
 
Free-for-All: I was born and raised in Honduras and I attended college as an international student. I have two dogs – an Alaskan malamute mix and a golden retriever. I love coffee and enjoy trivia games/board games. My husband and I are both Whitworth alums, but we never crossed paths during our time in school. I have a leap birthday which means I only have an official birthday every four years. I published my first research study in a journal in 2021!
