My favorite thing to do is pretty much anything that will get me out of the house and creating memories.  Whether this be a hike with my dog, a concert, or meeting up with friends for even just a few hours on a Wednesday.  The idea of new experiences and possibilities is something I am always open to, especially when it's something I can do with the people I care most about.
VP Public Relations - Tessa Simmons
Class: Junior
Major: Communication
Minor: Psychology

I'm from Saint Paul, MN and this is my third year at UMD. I just changed my major to Communication this year and I am loving it! I enjoy going on little adventures in my free time, which I lucked out by going to a school by the beautiful North Shore! Other than hiking, I love to just hang out with my friends and family and to either check out new restaurants or events near me!
