"I think it's only right that I get my education at the best university in the state."

Day in the Life Headline

Tell me a little about where you grew up?

I grew up on a farm north of Hingham Montana. My grandparents raised me, and I went to a small high school where I was able to be involved in everything. I still have that habit, so I keep a busy schedule while going to school, but I don’t mind it keeps me out of trouble.

Why did you choose The University of Great Falls

I think UGF has the best Criminal Justice program in the state, especially with the option of a forensic science major, or minor. The professors are also great they are very personable, and they know their stuff. I think it’s only right to get my education at the best university in the state.

What’s your favorite spot on campus?

The outside lecture forum on a warm sunny morning, I fell in love with the spot during my art class. It is shaded by trees, and has a great view Sullivan Hall, the library, the art buildings, and the science building.

What do you aspire to after you graduate?

I hope to get a job with a federal agency; I don’t know which one I am still trying to see what I like. I have an internship this summer so hopefully that will help me make my decision.

Who on campus has had the biggest impact on you?

Jamie Rizzuto, and Jo Bowns. They are my soccer coaches, I have recently gone through some tough things with my family, and they helped me out through the whole thing. They really care about their players I couldn’t imagine UGF without them. Jaime, Jo, and the rest of my team mates are awesome; they are my second family away from home.

Share your favorite travel adventure.

This last summer I went to Germany and Switzerland with my older sister. It was amazing. I really like to see how other cultures differ from ours. We can learn a lot from each other.

If you had to be on a desert island with one campus food what would it be?

The spaghetti, it is good stuff. Those cooks at the cafeteria really know how to make mean spaghetti.

If a movie was being made of your life who would play the lead role?

They already made a movie about me; I just haven’t gotten there yet.
Bullock in Miss Congeniality. I am not a girlie girl, and it would be just
my luck that I would have to do that as an assignment in the FBI.

If you could pick a faculty member as your lifeline on Who Wants to be a
Millionaire, who would you choose?

Dr. Ganster he is a great professor as well as a great person. He is a very
knowledgeable guy; maybe that is why he has a Dr. in front of his name.
