What has been your most impactful class?

My most impactful class thus far has been ENGCW 272W: Intro to Fiction Writing with Tiphanie Yanique. Professor Yanique really pushed my classmates and I to become the best versions of ourselves not only in our writing, but also in life. She was genuinely such an amazing person to learn from and was definitely the reason why I chose a humanities major.

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

if I'm not at the WoodPEC completing a lifeguarding shift, I'll definitely be on the first floor of Woodruff Library, listening to very loud music, trying to be productive, and people watching.

My favorite thing to do in Atlanta is...

find new restaurants that allow me and my friends to dress up and go out! Leaving campus and finding new places is something that lets us take our mind off of the school stress, which is amazing.

What is your favorite Emory tradition?

My favorite Emory tradition has got to be the midnight breakfasts that go on right before finals. This breakfast is such an amazing way to destress and just have fun with your friends in the dining hall. They'll always have great music and you'll just be on the dance floor with your friends, not even eating the amazing pancakes cooked by our wonderful staff.
