1. Who or what inspired you to get involved with NSMH?

Sitting on “the couch” in the HTM office at SDSU was my big inspiration! The couch is a place where all HTM students are welcome to go, and I strongly suggest doing so! It is a place to meet new people that encourage you to always be your best, learn about events and how to participate, get advice, enjoy a good laugh and much more! Students and faculty are always present, and they were the ones who provided me with the extra nudge I needed to get involved!

2. What is the best memory you have that involves NSMH? There are so many, how can I narrow it down to just one?! If I must, I would have to say Nationals. I was not only able to make connections with potential employers, but I bonded with other students from SDSU and all over America! We laughed together, we danced together, we even cried together! The relationships I formed because I went on this trip will last a lifetime, and for this I will be forever thankful!
