Class of 2026

Hometown: Atlanta, GA

Major: Biology

What has been your most impactful class?

Environmental Epidemiology because I started my time at Emory post-pandemic, so it was fascinating to learn about how diseases spread, which felt very relevant to my recent life. Additionally, the CDC is right by campus so we got to learn a lot about what they do!

What is your favorite Emory tradition?

Song Fest was by far my favorite Emory tradition! Not only was it it was extremely fun, but it was also a fantastic way to get to know the people in my residence hall. It is an easy way to meet people as you are first coming into college.

My favorite thing to do in Atlanta is...

The Georgia Aquarium! I am absolutely obsessed with anything to do with the ocean, so I could easily spend hours there. It's a great aquarium that I think anyone remotely interested in sea life should visit at least once!

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

As someone who loves wildlife, I often spend my free time at Lullwater Park to watch the birds and turtles or go on walks throughout the many pathways around the park. In between classes, I am often in a blue Adirondack chair on the quad studying, resting, or doing art.
