Describe your college experience

UARK has been great for me, especially having transferred from Memphis. I believe that UARK has a place for everyone and Fayetteville is an amazing city.

Tip for future students

Be sure to figure out housing well in advance to starting at UARK. If you wait too long it’ll be nearly impossible for you to find something reasonable. The UARK Off Campus Housing site is very useful for finding roommates in the city.

Favorite class

My favorite class has to be Intro to Exercise Science with Dr. Butts. He has lots of insight on what it’ll be like to have a career in exercise and can make it much easier to find internships​/​research opportunities.

Career goals

Once I finish grad school, I hope to be coaching the USA Climbing National team.

Ideal way to spend a free night

I spend most of my free time at Boulder and Brews, the climbing gym right by campus.

High school or secondary school

For High School, I went to Houston High in Germantown, TN.

Previous college

Before transferring, I got my Associates degree at Southwest TN Community College.

Meeting point

Fulbright Fountain
