What has been your most impactful class?

Islam and Politics, I branched out of my major and took a religion class and it ended up being super interesting and we had a snack schedule so each class started with a snack, and the first week we got cheesecake!

My favorite thing to do in Atlanta is...

Eat at Buford Highway, my family is from Malaysia so it is nice to have a taste of home and try foods from other cultures and it is incredibly affordaale and a lot of it is family owned!

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

Outside! Being outside makes me feel so good, so I often grab a few of my friends and try to take advantage of good weather and explore as much of Georgia as we can in our time here!

What is your favorite Emory tradition?

The Coke Toast! I was nervous about starting college, but the coke toast was such a nice way to send my mom off, it has been an exciting journey since that first toast and I am looking forward to my next one at graduation!
