I chose to attend Georgia State University because of its importance of pursuing diversity. I understand a student may hear this all the time, but to me it really captures the lifestyle I have been brought up in all my life as a military family member. Being able to adapt at all times to different things have truly been a key asset to any success during my life.

If you could be a cartoon character, who would you be and why? To be honest I have no clue! There are too many to choose from!

Favorite Georgia State Tradition: Panther Prowl Events!

What advice would you give to incoming students? I personally believe that being involved on and off campus is vital. Therefore, I try to maintain this belief by staying active. Remember that your freshman and college years at Georgia State is the start of your building blocks for your future foundation. So, become active within the university and have fun in the process!

After I graduate from Georgia State, I hope to become an event coordinator or hotel manager.
