My Story

I am a Pensacola native who loves being a part of my community. Traveling, being outdoors, watching House, spending time with my family, and drinking a lot of coffee are a few of my favorite things. I love science, and I am currently doing research through SURP. I plan on becoming an optometrist.

Honors

I am currently entering my second year in the honors program. I have taken honors core 1 and 2 and plan on doing an honors by contract this fall. I love the honors program and everyone in it. It has allowed me to grow and challenge myself in new ways.

Traveling

I love traveling. It allows me to experience and learn about the other cultures which is my favorite part!

Outdoors

I love doing anything outdoors, especially hiking and camping!

Horses!

One of my favorite things to do is ride horses. I used to ride competitively, but now I only have time to pleasure ride.

Personality Test

The Scholar: this no surprise to me considering that I love learning, and my top priority is my academics. My primary advantage is prestige and my secondary is alert. Honestly, I'm just a really big nerd 😜
