Background

Hometown: Charleston, SC

About Me: Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday and instead of a Christmas Tree, I put up a Thanksgiving Tree instead. I definitely consider it the Best Day Ever and love it more than any other holiday. Yes, even Christmas!

Favorite Quote: "I don't want to be the Queen. I want to be the person the Queen goes to for advice" -- Unknown

Advice to Students: College is the place where you find out the kind of person you want to be. Yes, go to class but also have fun, explore new opportunities, push boundaries, take care of each other.


Challenge the conventional. Create the exceptional. No Limits.
