Class of 2025

Major: Political Science


What has been your most impactful class?

Intro to International Politics with Dr. Swift has taught me a wide variety of theories that influence the way that I understand the actions of countries across the world. I especially love this class because it uses current events to thoroughly explain class content which makes every lesson feel relevant, interesting, and useful. This class definitely helped me to confirm that I am interested in majoring in politics to continue learning in this area.

My favorite thing to do in Atlanta is...

I love attending sporting events downtown at the Mercedes-Benz stadium. The atmosphere of Atlanta sports is incredible and it's always fun to watch professional football or soccer game with friends there.

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

On a random day, you're most likely to find me playing ping pong in the lobby of Elizer Hall or studying with friends in the student center.

What is your favorite Emory tradition?

My favorite Emory tradition is the coke toast. Every incoming class meets to enjoy a coke at the start of the first day and eventually they share another coke together at graduation. This tradition was a ton of fun at the beginning of the year and I'm excited to do it again in a few years!
