What has been your most impactful class?

My most impactful class was Visual Culture, an Interdisciplinary Studies class focused on monuments and memorials. We studied monuments throughout history and around the globe, and my class got to take field trip to Montgomery, AL! I think about what I learned in the class almost everyday, and still chat with my professor about monuments and memorials in the news.

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

Munching on a veggie hash bowl at Kaldi's or studying on top of the Carlos Museum! Ebrik, the Carlos Museum's cafe, has the best tea and places to sit and read.

My favorite thing to do in Atlanta is...

Eat! Atlanta is a foodie city and I find awesome restaurants every week. You can't visit Atlanta without eating on Decatur Square, Buford Highway, or along the Beltline.

What is your favorite Emory tradition?

Kind of obsessed with Dooley and think she's one of the cooler traditions we have. It seems like the whole campus freaks out when she makes an appearance! Last year I got a selfie with her and it made my entire week.
