Favorite Movie: Overall, probably Arrival (2016). Huge fan of Ari Aster, Mike Flanagan, and Denis Villeneuve.
Favorite thing about SPU: I love the passion and care that the staff and faculty on campus have for their students. It’s clear everyone working here would go to the moon and back for our amazing student body.
