What is your favorite Emory tradition?

My favorite Emory tradition is Wonderful Wednesday. This is an event which takes place every Wednesday on Cox Bridge, and a ton of different organizations and departments come out to give free food and merch in order to spread the word to students on events they are hosting and to invite students to join their organization. I enjoy it because it is such a great time to find ways to get involved (especially when you're still searching for clubs to join), and it really helped me when I was a first-year to learn about the organizations which I am still heavily involved in today.

What has been your most impactful class?

The class which has impacted me the most has been Classical Political Thought where we read Xenophon and Aristotle. I found it extremely interesting as it allowed me to think about questions from the nature of politics to the goal of the state to the definition of happiness. I think it helped spark a deep interest in me for political science which I will continue to explore throughout the rest of my years at Emory.

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

Reading/listening to music or most likely a combination of both! Even though I am really busy with my classes and the clubs I am involved in, I always try to make a lot of time everyday to enjoy reading a good book.

My favorite thing to do in Atlanta is...

go to the World of Coca-Cola Museum. I love the section at the end where you get to taste the different Coca-Cola flavors from around the world!!
