Background

Hometown: Columbia, SC

About Me: I am a Carolina girl who loves horseback riding and fishing. I also love traveling. In undergrad, I studied abroad at the University of Kent and lived in Canterbury, U.K. which opened my eyes to new cultural experiences. Outside of work, I spend time with my Maltese, Jax, as well as family and friends. My ultimate academic goal is to achieve a terminal degree and work in a field that positively impacts my community. 

Favorite Quote: "Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Advice to Students: Take advantage of the opportunities that your university has to offer you. Challenge yourself to reach new goals academically and experientially. And don't forget to check your student email!


Challenge the conventional. Create the exceptional. No Limits.
