Why did you choose to attend GSW?
While attending Rutland High School, a close family friend introduced me to Georgia Southwestern. After I looked more into GSW, four of my other friends and I decided GSW was where we wanted to call home for the next four years. My time at GSW has been beyond amazing. The GSW experience is unmatched. This university provided me with the ability to have personal relationships with my professors and advisor. (Shout, Dr. Fisk!)

GSW was also the perfect distance from home, which made me and my mom secure with the decision to attend college here. If I had the chance to do everything over again, I wouldn't change anything. I am genuinely grateful for the opportunities and the knowledge GSW has provided for me to use in life.

What advice do you have for incoming students?
The best advice I could give other students is to never to give up and never put your head down. "If it's meant to be, it's up to me" should be your mindset. No one will get the job done for you.

What is your favorite class and why?
My favorite class I took at GSW was geology. I loved geology because it provided me with the knowledge and tools to enjoy and explore the great outdoors without getting lost or hurt.

What is your favorite place to eat, shop, or hang out in Americus?
My favorite place to eat in Americus is the basic answer, but the answer is Zaxby's. For the last four years, Zaxby's has been my main entrée.  

What are your most-used emojis? Why do you think so?
My most used emoji is the laughing emoji because laughter is the true meaning of happiness, and I'm always happy lol. 😂
