Describe your college experience
My college experience has been nothing short of amazing. When I first came to USF I was scared, timid, and was having a hard time being so far away from home. When I began to put myself out there, join clubs, and meet new people, I quickly fell in love with USF. Through my time I have made some of my bestfriends and have been able to explore the beautiful Tampa Bay area. I've been presented with many new oppurtunities that have helped push me to be a more confident and well rounded individual.
Tip for future students
1) USF students get so many discounts and deals at local places. Take advantage of them all! 2) Get involved early. With so many different clubs, there is something for everyone. 3) Do things scared. Oppurtunites come and go in a flash so take them while you can. You never know who you are going to meet!
Favorite class
My favorite class has been both of my composition classes. These classes are designed for discussion and really allowed me to be involved in my learning. I also met so many new people through these classes as well!
Career goals
I hope to work as a public relations professional in sports! Beyond that I hope to open my own public relations firm!
Ideal way to spend a free night
My ideal way to spend a free night is going to a USF sporting event with friends and grabbing dinner afterwards! I also enjoy going to the beach!
