Class of: 2010
Hometown and High School: Flint, MI; Eastside High School in Covington, GA
Major/Minor: Political Science
I chose to attend Georgia State University because of its diversity! I looked into numerous colleges and Georgia State was the only University that promoted and spoke of diversity where it was actually visible during my tour.
Campus Activities and Organizations: Student Government Associate Senator for the College of Arts and Sciences, Student Advisor of the Black Freshman Network, Black Sophomore Society Member, Economic Empowerment Initiative Member, Habitat for Humanity Member, START member, Office of African American Student Services and Programs Volunteer, Circle K Member
Most Memorable Georgia State experience has to be when I was elected as a senator for the Student Government Association by the student body. I was shocked that so many people participated in the voting event and cared about my issues as much as I did.
If you could be a cartoon character, who would you be and why? If I could be a cartoon character I would be Minnie Mouse. She just seems like a great character, she doesn't say much but you always feel her presence and she is a major character for Walt Disney!
Favorite Georgia State tradition: I love going to the basketball games dressed in Georgia State apparel, cheering for our team to win. The suspense is the best part of the game and rubbing the bronze panther statue is becoming more of a tradition.
What advice would you give to incoming students? Become Involved! I cannot stress that enough. The more involved you are the better your time here will be! You'll love going to classes and interacting with other students versus just going to class each day!
After I graduate from Georgia State, I hope to move to Miami and pursue my acting career! Just Kidding!! LOL I plan on getting a job at a law firm and working up the totem pole.
