Above is an image of Loyola Univeristy Chicago's Information Commons, or the IC. This is a bookless study space overlooking the lake and one of the most sustainable buildings in the city of Chicago. I spend a majority of my time in this beautiful building working extremely hard in order to be successful.

My main focus as a student is my schoolwork. I treat my education like a full-time job; I put in 40 hours every week to make sure I am earning competitive grades and performing at my very best. Overall, maintaining a strong grade point average is what allows me to seize all other opportunites at Loyola University and the surrounding city as well as give my goals legitimacy.
