Describe your college experience

My college experience has been amazing. Switching from WKU to UK was the easiest choice I have made in my life. UK is extremely welcoming, there is always something going on whether it’s a sporting event, religious groups, concerts, intramural sports. UK makes it so easy to leave home for the first time and life on your own.

Tip for future students

If I could start over at UK, I would be more outgoing with clubs and organizations. There is an organization for everyone and every single hobby and you will never get left out.

Favorite class

Music 130 has been my favorite class. I met some very good lifelong friends in that class. It was a very fun and outgoing class where you get to learn about cultures, and play instruments I never thought I would get to play in my life!

Career goals

I aspire to get my CPA after school and work my way up to a CFO

Ideal way to spend a free night

I enjoy hanging out with friends, exploring downtown Lexington, and UK sporting events.
