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

Poke Bar Decatur! I love to try new places to eat in ATL. It's nice to step off campus for a second and explore all that the city has to offer. I am always down to give recommendations. My favorites include: Poke Bar, Bones, Steel City Pops, and Folk Art.

What is your favorite Emory tradition?

Women's Wonderful Wednesday! This event happens once a year in the spring and is sponsored by multiple women-centered organizations on campus (including She's the First, Panhellenic Council, and Planned Parenthood Generation Action, etc.) It is an incredible way to spark dialogue on campus about women's issues and gender equity.

My favorite thing to do in Atlanta is...

EAT!

What has been your most impactful class?

Psychology 110 with Andrew Kazama, Psychobiology & Cognition. I came into this class with the mentality that I was going to "get it over with" given that it was my science requirement. However, I learned more about the brain and how we as humans operate than I could have ever imagined. Dr. Kazama inspires his students to actually use what they learn in class in our college lives. Even a year later I find myself using knowledge from this class to go about my day to day experiences.
