Hi! My name is Avery from Dallas, TX. I am a junior Finance and Risk Management and Insurance major on the pre-law track! I knew nobody coming into UGA, and admittedly struggled to adjust at first, however, UGA has been the best decision I have ever made. I am involved in Greek Life, Business school leadership groups, clubs, IM sports, and studied abroad in Australia and New Zealand this summer before completing an internship in banking! I always love to chat about my school while keeping things real, offer perspective from someone who has lived many lives at UGA, and generally spill all of the secrets I wish someone would of told me! Go Dawgs!

Describe your college experience

Coming to UGA was one of the best decisions I have ever made, I have grown in ways I didn't know were possible.

Tip for future students

Be open to everything, but invest your time in what you truly care about, not what everyone is telling you to do.

Favorite class

The Legal and Regulatory Environment of Business because it combines my passion for Finance and Law! Plus it was super interesting and can be applied to everyday life.

Career goals

Work in Finance for a year and then attend law school to be a Mergers and Acquisitions Attorney

Ideal way to spend a free night

Anything with my friends!

High school or secondary school

Lake Highlands High School

Favorite spot on campus

The Terry courtyard because the tables are in the shade and the landscaping is beautiful, I love doing work out there!
