English and Creative Writing, Georgia College and State University

Background

Hometown: Lagrange, Georgia

About Me: I have been a member of the USC community since 2023 as an English instructor, but I have been teaching at multiple universities for more than five years now. Besides teaching and advising, I also have a background in paralegal studies. I love all things fall, pumpkin, or Halloween related. Reading, writing, yoga/pilates, kickboxing, and traveling are a few of my many hobbies. I also recently took up snowboarding! If you see me around, I probably have a coffee in hand or I am walking my two dogs, Lanie and Leia. Feel free to say hello!

Favorite Quote: "For what it’s worth... it’s never too late, or in my case too early, to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit. Start whenever you want. You can change or stay the same. There are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you’ve never felt before. I hope you meet people who have a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of, and if you’re not, I hope you have the courage to start over again."

Advice to Students: Get out of your comfort zone and explore all of the opportunities you can!
