What has been your most impactful class?

My most impactful class has been my introductory psychology class, Psych 110 Psychobiology & Cognition. Since I am undecided, it felt somewhat overwhelming to go in with no concept of what I wanted to do. After the first day of classes, I knew that psychology was something that I wanted to explore. My professor, David Edwards, always made class entertaining and although it was challenging, I learned so much about psychology and even how to be a successful student.

My favorite thing to do in Atlanta is...

Going to the Atlanta Botanical Garden! While I have only been twice, it is my favorite place in Atlanta. The first time I went was in August and the flowers were beautiful. The second time I went was for the light show around the holidays. The lights were gorgeous and I had so much fun.

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

On a walk or at a coffee shop. The weather in Atlanta is perfect so I enjoy walking around campus and the surrounding neighborhoods. Oftentimes, I will end my walk with a little treat (usually coffee).

What is your favorite Emory tradition?

My favorite Emory tradition has to be Songfest. Especially since it's at the beginning of the year, it's a great way to meet new people and immediately feel the Emory community. I am incredibly close with everyone on my floor just because we all chose to participate in Songfest. There's nothing quite like Emory residence hall pride!
