Career plans: Accumulate equity stakes in profitable businesses and real estate
Most impactful experience: 1) The friends I've made from the Top Scholar community. 2) Joining Focused Living in Columbia, SC. 3) The work experience and incredible mentors I've been fortunate enough to have in college
Best part of the Top Scholars program: The best part about being a Top Scholar is the friends you make. All of my roommates are Top Scholars and several of my other closest friends are Top Scholars. They're all incredible overachievers (I certainly bring down the average of the group IQ) but they also have a lot of fun and will continue to have great impacts in the areas they choose to spend their time.
UofSC Story: My UofSC story is defined by a tremendous amount of fond memories and stories. I've been fortunate to have a lot of fun with friends. I'm proud of the work I was blessed to have the opportunity to complete. I'm beyond grateful for the professors, mentors, friends and staff that have opened doors for me. Most importantly, UofSC has helped me lay what I believe is a great foundation for the rest of my life. It makes me excited for the future.
