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

In the Woodruff Physical Education Center! Either working out/practicing or hanging out in the athlete lounge doing work.

What has been your most impactful class?

My most impactful class so far has been Chemistry 150. Going into college I knew I was interested in chemistry and was considering it as a major. I was nervous for a college chemistry class, but after taking it I know that chemistry is the route for me. Being able to see how everything builds from the tiniest building blocks is just very fascinating.

What is your favorite Emory tradition?

My favorite Emory tradition is definitely Songfest, a song and dance competition between the first-year residence halls! Meeting everyone in my hall and getting to dance was really fun, and hearing all the other songs was really funny too.

My favorite thing to do in Atlanta is...

Walking around Ponce City Market! It's a really beautiful area to shop and spend a day in. It reminds me a lot of a few places from home and is overall a nice getaway from campus for an afternoon.
