I was born in San Francisco but moved to North Carolina at the age of eight. One of my favorite things about the South is the food, especially Bojangles biscuits (if you know, you know). I love tennis and play every chance I get. I can fall asleep anywhere and I enjoy public speaking, traveling, and shopping for clothes. When not in school, I'm most likely cheering on the Cougars at sporting events, spending time with friends, or working out with my roommates.

What are your favorite books? What are you currently reading?

My favorite book is "The Screwtape Letters" by CS Lewis and I’m currently reading "Where the Crawdads Sing" by Delia Owens.

What are three things that can always be found in your pantry/refrigerator?

Dried mangos, flavor blast Goldfish, and my leftover Choices bowl.

What sparked your interest in your major?

I first started thinking about cyber security when the Colonial Pipeline was hacked. I am really interested in digital forensics and working for the government in my future.

Why did you decide to join the Honors Program?

I wanted to be surrounded by other creative and ambitious people. I know that the Honors program offers many amazing opportunities that I couldn't experience otherwise. I have a strong desire to attend graduate school and I know the Honors program will help prepare me for that.

What has been your favorite Honors experience?

Attending "The Battle of the Brains" event was so much fun and I was able to meet people from Phi Kappa Phi.

What is your next step in Honors?

Taking an Unexpected Connections Course, specifically Playing with Reality: Investigating Deception through Games, Film, and TV.
