Why did you choose to come to MSU?
I wanted a school that was comfortable and relaxing. Mississippi State was a great school where everyone made you feel like family and was so welcoming.
How did the METP enhance your college experience at Mississippi State?
METP provided a better path for me to start my education career. It surrounded me with faculty to pour into me as a student that I could turn around and pour out as a teacher.
What were some of your other involvements on campus?
I was involved in the Kappa Delta Sorority there on campus as well as Reformed University fellowship.
Funny moment/Interesting Fact?
I have known that I wanted to be a teacher for as long as I can remember!
What advice would you give to entering freshmen or students finishing up high school?
Do not be afraid to put yourself out there because everyone is starting with a blank slate in college.
