Describe your college experience
My college experience has been nothing short of amazing. From meeting people all over, traveling, gaining independence, and all together finding myself as a person, l am truly blessed I get to call myself an Ole Miss rebel.
Tip for future students
To any future students my advice would be to just have fun. I found myself worrying over every minor detail coming to school and I wish I had just enjoyed the process a little more. I defiantly have had some struggles but everything truly does work out in its own way.
Favorite class
My favorite class has been business speech for so many different reasons. My class was only about 10 people so I got much needed one on one feedback and it has overall made me a much better public speaker. Not only that but I have been set up for things I never would have learned on my own. I got a professional resume, learned how to interviews, how to get internships, and even how to pitch different business partnerships.
Career goals
After college I hope to continue to pursue a military career. I am a super indecisive person however I have always loved to educate people around me about real world events. With a passion for educating and public speaking political journalism has truly caught my attention.
Ideal way to spend a free night
My ideal free night would be spent with my friends. I truly have met my lifelong friends here at Ole Miss and there is nothing I enjoy more than dinner and a movie with my favorite people.
High school or secondary school
I attended Santiago High School in Corona California.
