Describe your college experience

My transition to college was a bit rocky and therefore, I would love to help students avoid some of the troubles I faced my freshman year. My grades started out a bit rough but through my resources here at Clemson, I have been able to maintain a 4.0 each semester since the beginning of my sophomore year. Whether you're right down the road or hundreds of miles away from home, the transition to college can be tough but I am more than ready to share my experiences and life lessons I learned so you don't have to!

Tip for future students

Come visit in person! When I was looking at schools, I didn't really consider Clemson. Until my mom made me tour with my cousin who was a student. It changed my world and I immediately fell in love with Clemson. One of the reasons I enjoy giving private tours is because that is how I was able to tour Clemson and because I learned the in's and out's that not everyone talks about, I became much more comfortable with my decision to attend Clemson.

Favorite class

Anatomy and Physiology for sure! I learned so much in this class not just information wise but truly how to study and how to utilize my resources. I learned how much office hours makes a difference and I ended up becoming an undergraduate lab assistant for the course.

Career goals

My goal is to take a gap year and then attend physical therapy school.

Ideal way to spend a free night

I love to have a 50​/​50 weekend which means for me one relaxed night cooking, making desserts, etc. and then also hanging out with my friends!
