Why do you think Creighton is special? I believe Creighton is special because of the personalized education and hands-on learning that we provide. Students have so many great opportunities for real-world experiences and our faculty have a strong passion for getting to know students and guiding them through their time in college.

Do you have any special advice or tips for applicants? It can be challenging, but putting yourself out there and trying new things or organizations is a great way to enhance your time in college. You have the opportunity to meet some amazing people and have some amazing experiences, but its only possible if you put yourself out there.

What do you like about Omaha and what are your favorite secret spots? Omaha is a great city because it provides all the big city amenities from a larger city but still gives you that small town, welcoming Midwest feel.

I enjoy going to Standing Bear Lake in northwest Omaha. The SAC & Aerospace Museum out in Ashland is great if you enjoy history.
