Where are you now? 

West Elementary in Pass Christian, MS

Why did you decide to come to MSU and pursue a degree in education? 

I decided to attend MSU due to the amazing atmosphere! Everyone you met was so friendly and helpful, making it so easy to feel at home on campus. I chose to pursue a degree in education because of my passion for helping the youth of Mississippi.

What do you want people to know about you? 

I'm a huge fan of documentaries! Whether it be about different decades in history or nature, I can sit and watch them for hours. I've always been fascinated by animals and nature, so the Planet Earth series is one of my favorites!

What activities were you involved in on campus (outside of METP)? 

I was a part of BSU and joined various other clubs.

What advice would you give to entering freshmen or students finishing up high school? 

Live every moment to the fullest. You don't want to look back on this amazing time and be full of regrets! I know it's such a crazy part of your life, but everything will work out the way it should.
