Extroverted Appalachian girl studying International Affairs
Hi! I'm Moriah and I am a sophomore studying International Affairs at GWU. I am originally from the rural, small town of Pikeville, KY. I love to listen to all kinds of music and be active in nature. You will usually find me outside in Kogan Plaza chatting with my friends before I head to work. I know all about work opportunities and fun activites within the DMV. I love to talk to people from all different kinds of the world and I would love to know what brings you to DC.

Describe your college experience
My experience has been amazing. As a girl from the poorest Congressional District, going to a school like GWU should be the thing of dreams. Luckily, GW has made it possible for me to achieve dreams I never thought I could have.
Tip for future students
Say yes to everything! This is the youngest you will ever be with this many accessible friends awaiting you!
Favorite class
My favorite class is Politics and Values which is a selective cohort at GWU. It was incredibly attention-grabbing with deeply knowledgeable professors. Due to its nature as a cohort, it also provides a community which is my favorite part.
Career goals
I hope to get my international law degree to work in reducing civilian casualties in warfare.
Ideal way to spend a free night
My ideal free night would be hanging out with my friends, listening to them play bluegrass music, with an early nights sleep.
High school or secondary school
Pikeville High School
Favorite spot on campus
My favorite spot on campus is the chairs on the Mount Vernon campus because the view is beautiful and gives an escape from the city. It reminds me of home.
Meeting point
