What has been your most impactful class?

Waiting for grade English 380W: Somatic Minds, Writing Bodies. This class introduced me to journaling and I have continued to utilize it in my life after taking the class. It was really impactful to have a class that encouraged self reflection and reflection as a whole. I even got to make a personal zine for my final project.

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

running at Lullwater Preserve which is a place on our campus that has so much vegetation, a small lake, and beautiful sites.

What is your favorite Emory tradition?

Our first year tradition, Songfest, it is an event where all the first year halls compete against each other to crown the winner for that year. It is an opportunity for your whole building to come together and learn rewritten lyrics to popular songs and choreography. The day of the event you get matching shirts and perform this to the rest of the first year buildings and a panel of judges.
