I’m from Memphis, TN, and I’m currently a freshman at UT studying biology on their pre-medical track! I currently stay in the honors dorm at McKay Hall on campus!

Describe your college experience

So far I’ve had to learn how to use all these new applications for setting up classes, finding a roommate, making payments, and especially how helpful googling can be during this process. Googling has helped me find the correct email addresses and phone numbers or websites to contact, and it’s been so fun and say. Especially finding a roommate was so fun with the built in UTampa questionnaire I got in contact with so many new people while finding a roommate, which was so fun.

Tip for future students

Be sure to keep up with deadlines for payments, making your schedule, and try using the applications in the UTampa portal just to see the features they have and familiarize yourself with them.

Favorite class

I have not been in class yet, but I’m excited for my biology and chemistry lab classes, because I love experiments!

Career goals

I hope to become a doctor, specifically a pediatrician or a dermatologist because of my personal skills and experiences.

Ideal way to spend a free night

On my ideal free night I’d go to the gym, and then shower and get ready to go out with my roommate and friends for dinner. After that we’d be back home before 9, so I could shower and get ready for bed by 10 and call my boyfriend while we play video games or watch a movie. Then go to bed around midnight.

High school or secondary school

Houston High School in Germantown, Tennessee

Favorite spot on campus

From my personal experience on tour of UTampa, I am excited for the pool and gym, because I enjoy fitness and moving around. But I also love Plant Hall because of its castle-like appearance
