What do you enjoy most about being at MSU? 

Taking a walk around the Drill in the evening or at night. Those walks make you really appreciate the campus life and can give you a break if work gets too stressful. 

What is the most important advice that you would give students? 

If you don't understand a particular topic in the class, GO to office hours. Not only is it helpful, but knowing your professor one-on-one can go a long way to help if you struggle with something in the future. Also, use the textbooks! You pay for them and most can be extremely helpful (Gen Chem in particular). 

Why should students go to SI? 

SI is an extremely useful tool not only for reviewing difficult topics but also to pick up free practice problems for upcoming tests. SI was extremely helpful to me in difficult classes like Chemistry and Calculus and becoming friends with your leaders can be a great way to get some extra help every once in a while. 

Hobbies/Interests 

I love going out for a run or exploring Mississippi! If you find me on campus I'm probably heading back to my apartment to work or paint models. If I'm not on campus, I'm most likely fishing or going to explore the state with friends!
