On a random day, you're most likely to find me….

throwing a frisbee on the quad with friends and on Tuesday you'll find me at the farmers market.

My favorite thing to do in Atlanta is...

I love Ponce City Market! There are nice restaurants and shops and walking on the belt line is lovely when the weather is warm.

What is your favorite Emory tradition?

Songfest!! Songfest is a great way to create community in the first year halls. I loved songfest my first year and was so happy to participate again my sophomore year as an orientation leader.

What has been your most impactful class?

Last Spring I took a class called Rhetorics and Resistance to fulfill a writing requirement. I loved this class because it provided a platform to explore other areas of study that I am passionate about but are not related to my major and minor. I learned how to do archival research in this class and the small class size allowed me to get to know both the other students in the class and the professor.

I'm passionate about...

Art History Travelling Visiting Museums Running Concerts

I'm involved with...
