What do you enjoy about being at Mississippi State?
I love how no matter where you're from, your home can be found at MSU. I have been welcomed by every faculty member, and by every student I meet. MSU's goal is for its students to thrive no matter where they come from!

What is the most important advice you would give students?
The most important advice I would give to students is that life is all about balance. Keep school a priority, along with your personal life. We all deserve a break from time to time. Make time for your family, friends, and for yourself. 

Why should students go to SI?
SI has been so beneficial to me, and I can tell a difference in my grades when I attend SI. If I attend consistently and put in the effort, I will do well in my classes. If I maybe only attend for the test reviews and wait until last minute, I won't do as well!

What are some of your hobbies/interests?
I love to read, spend time with my friends, babysit, travel, and run! I also really love my job in Pontotoc as a receptionist and medical assistant at a family clinic!
