What has been your most impactful class?

My freshman seminar—MESAS 190: American Foreign Policy in the Middle East—is one of the best classes I’ve ever taken. The instructor, Dr. Freer, offered so much personal and professional expertise on the subject matter and our class presents a variety of viewpoints

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

Exploring new parts of Lullwater Park while on runs or doing my homework cozied up on the tall chairs in the Student Center, facing the rest of campus—it depends on the day!

My favorite thing to do in Atlanta is...

Explore the food scene! I'm a MASSIVE foodie, and some of my favorite eats ever have been in Atlanta. My current recommendation? Rumi's Kitchen has some of the best Persian cuisine I've ever had--rivaled only by traditional food in Iran itself!

What is your favorite Emory tradition?

Songfest was one of my favorite days on campus. All the residence halls worked so hard on their routines and it showed—the energy in the WoodPec was electric. It was so great to showcase our dances while also cheering on your friends.
