She chose Middle Georgia State College because … "It was close to home. I was able to
commute to classes where I still had the luxury of living at home. The affordable tuition was also a major factor."
The one thing that surprised her most about Middle Georgia State was … "How comfortable I could be with my professors. They are always willing to stay late to help you or give you a little extra information to make sure you understand the material."
Her favorite professor is … "Dr. Lucas Hopkins. He is laid back, always willing to help, extremely easy to communicate with, you can tell how devoted he is to his career. He takes his teaching seriously and he does a great job."
Her favorite place to study is … "Probably in front of Starbucks in the Professional Sciences building. It’s not too loud and it’s not too quiet."
One thing people don’t know about her is … "I have three screws in my ankle from breaking it back in 2009."
Her friends make fun of her because … "I wheeze when I laugh."
The one person she'd most like to meet is … "Charlie Hunnam. I think the answer can speak for itself honestly! I love Sons of Anarchy so meeting him would be the icing on my cake!"
Five years from now she sees herself ... "Moving up in my career and enjoying life."
