Hi! I was born and raised in NWA, and currently a student at the UofA. Aside from studying, I have been involved in Greek Life and more recently on-campus organizations. I genuinely enjoy and am forever grateful for all the experiences gained, and would love to share that for potential Razorbacks!

Describe your college experience

At first it was exciting but quickly turned overwhelming, but getting involved on campus made a huge difference. Through daily routine experimenations to leadership opprotunties, I was able to build lasting connections, lessons, and memories. Although Fayetteville seemed like a "college" town not too long ago, it quickly morphed into my second-hand home. I truly to enjoy everything NWA has to offer for my peers my age.

Tip for future students

Get involved early and don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone, please! Some of the best experiences happen when you try something new—and if you don't like it—you're one step closer to what you will thoroughly enjoy. Of course, allow yourself to balance and breathe but at the end of the day you have so many opportunities in front of you.

Favorite class

Intro to Business Law - I had the best professor who was not only educating, but challenging the class in a passive way. I enjoyed how she directed her presentations, and explanations. Despite not having a career set for law, it was a very educational class that I believe everyone should take—regardless of their major.

Career goals

After graduation, I hope to earn my MBA in Boston or New York and study fashion-business closely. I hope to work in the marketing or supply chain, or even event management for fashion brands, all while traveling the world.

Ideal way to spend a free night

A cozy night with friends, trying a new dish, trying a new restaurant in Fayetteville, or studying in a quiet spot with a good view—preferably near a window.
