Hi! I’m a finance major at Auburn University who’s passionate about staying active—whether I’m at the gym, playing basketball, or out on the golf course. I enjoy meeting new people and would love to show you around campus and share what makes Auburn feel like home to me.

Describe your college experience

Like everyone’s college experience mine has had its ups and downs. Living on your own and beginning to live like an adult can be a challenge, but it’s also great. There are a lot of opportunities to get involved and Auburn does a great job of connecting students and making it a community.

Tip for future students

The best thing you can do for yourself is learn to manage your time. There are more distractions in college but also more flexibility to do what you need to do. Learn to budget your time so you can get your work done and still enjoy the fun parts of college life.

Favorite class

My favorite class was communications simply because it forced me to get better at public speaking and interacting with groups of people.

Career goals

After college I hope to move to Chicago and work in private equity
