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 enjoys art, I like to sit on a bench or at the quad to paint or sketch. I also love seeing wildlife, so I often spend my free time at Lullwater Park to watch the birds and turtles by the lake as I eat, study, or do art.

What has been your most impactful class?

Wildlife Diseases, I got to learn from a professor who works in the field of animal sciences that I am interested in and I got loads of detailed information about how we study our wildlife and monitor and diseases that come from that.

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. I have met some of my closest friends through it.
