“I like to call myself a forever learner. Growing up, I always loved going to school, both for the classes and for the friendships. It is really not a surprise thinking about it that I now work in education. Apart from learning, I have a passion for trying to live a healthy, happy, and holistic life. One of my major goals is to live as peaceful and joyful of a life as possible, and to help others achieve the same.

College was an exciting time for me. I took a major risk by attending a university in which I knew the academics would challenge me more than I had been challenged before. I also went across the country, not knowing a soul. It was in college that I truly gained confidence in myself and started to find my voice, speaking up for issues that I cared about. As a northerner my whole life, it was in this time that I gained a new appreciation for all things South: country music, cowboy boots, and delicious shrimp and grits. My best advice to current college students is: Work smarter, not harder."
