When did you start volunteering for Rice? How long have you been a volunteer?

2021 - 3 years

Why do you volunteer for Rice?

It sounded like a good program to expose Rice students to alumni in the field of their interest to give the students real world examples of what goes on in a particular field. Also, I wanted to provide prospective law school applicants real-world advice about expectations.

What do you enjoy most about volunteering at Rice?

I enjoy helping the next generation and aiding them in knowing what to expect.

What's a fun Rice fact about you?

I played on Rice's 1991 College Bowl National Champion team. I even did a (really awkward) radio interview after the fact, which I had the foresight to record.

What would you say to your fellow alumni/parents/friends to encourage them to volunteer for Rice?

Volunteering is a good way to stay connected to the university that did so much for me and my growth as a person.
