What are your career plans?
I am in the
Three/Two Early Advantage Program, so once I'm
finished with my psychology undergraduate degree, I'll
move to the
Crummer Graduate School of Business for my MBA. I want to pursue
a career in marketing or advertising, most likely in
central Florida.
Why did you choose Rollins?
After going to a public high school
with 4,000 students, I was ready for a smaller, more
engaged environment. And I wasn't about to leave Florida
to go freeze in the winter!
What has been your best learning experience so far?
I feel like I've made the most of
my experience so far, by getting involved and taking
advantage of opportunities. Rollins has a lot to offer
to students, both in academic and extra-curricular
activities; it's all about making the most of it.
What has been your favorite class and why?
All my classes this fall semester
have turned out to be amazing. One of my favorites is
"Communications Ethics" with
Dr. Marvin Newman. He's very interesting to listen
to and he has exposed us to ethical decisions that will
impact our futures.
How would you describe your co-curricular experience
at Rollins?
I try to stay involved on campus.
Currently, I am the Community Service Chair for the
Student
Government Association, I'm a sister of Kappa Delta
sorority, and I'm a member of the Rollins Dancers and
the College Republicans. Special interest groups are
great ways to meet people who share your same passions.
What are some of you favorite movies?
I'm a sucker for "chick-flicks."
Some of my favorites are Uptown Girls, How to
Lose A Guy in 10 Days and Sweet Home Alabama.
What is one of your favorite quotations?
"Hitch your wagon to a star."
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Where is your favorite place to eat on campus?
I can never pass up the chicken
fingers at the
Grille, especially if it is a "curly fries" day!
What would be your dream vacation?
Either an all-expense paid shopping
spree to New York City or renting out a private
Caribbean island.
