I’m a first-year student at the University of Georgia, and attending here has been a dream of mine since I was 9. I’m passionate about dance and anything that lets me express my creativity. I’m outgoing and love connecting with people, always eager to make new friends and build relationships. I’m also goal-oriented and focused on achieving my dreams, both in school and in life.

Describe your college experience

My transition to college has been an exciting and rewarding experience so far. Moving to UGA was a big change, but I’ve quickly adapted and made the most of it. I’ve made a lot of new friends and enjoyed getting to know people from all walks of life. Balancing my schoolwork has been a priority, and I’ve worked hard to stay focused and on top of my studies. At the same time, I’ve made sure to have fun and explore Athens, taking in all the city has to offer. It’s been a great mix of hard work and memorable experiences, and I’m excited for what’s to come.

Tip for future students

My biggest tip for future students is to find a balance between schoolwork and personal time early on. It’s easy to get caught up in academics, but taking the time to explore the campus, make friends, and enjoy the experience is just as important.

Favorite class

My favorite class thus far has been Jazz I! I loved learning a new teaching style, and I have become great friends with the people in the class with me!

Career goals

After college, I plan to pursue a career in Atlanta, where I hope to teach dance at a studio. I’m also interested in exploring a career in real estate, and would love to balance both passions, teaching dance when kids get out of school and working in real estate, during the day. I’m excited to combine my love for creativity with a career that offers new challenges and opportunities.

Ideal way to spend a free night

My ideal way to spend a free night is a mix of fun and relaxation. I love heading to The Beeline in Atlanta, having a cozy movie night in, baking fresh cookies, or even hitting up a trampoline park for some high-energy fun. It’s all about enjoying the moment, whether I’m out exploring or just unwinding at home!
