Describe your college experience

My transition to college was rough to begin with as I am very close with my family. However, the community at Florida State is so supportive and I am so greatful that I stuck it out!

Tip for future students

I wish I knew how many resources there are to help you! We have free on campus tutoring in multiple locations, study groups, and even student advisors to speak to when you’re feeling overwhelmed!

Favorite class

My favorite class has been general genetics with Liz Brown! I realized my love for medicine from this class.

Career goals

I hope to become a pediatric dentist!

Ideal way to spend a free night

I love going to on-campus events and hanging out with friends! The night life in Tallahassee is definitely an upside to the city, whether you like to go out or stay on campus!
