A class that changed my life: Intro to Sociology. Sparked an interest in human behavior that I had no clue was in me. It made me pivot from being an Accounting major to the business equivalent of Sociology -- Marketing.

Best college experience: Getting involved on this very campus. The majority of my college friends that are still close friends to this day came as a result of me getting to know people while hanging out at the African American Cultural & Resource Center (AACRC), and being active in a number of student organizations in general, especially the illustrious Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc.

Piece(s) of advice: Get involved on campus, step out of your comfort zone, study abroad, network, make at least one friend in every single class, don’t be afraid to ask for help, don’t block your blessings, become a student of learning (not just academically), research post-undergrad options SOONER rather than later. This will help you grow so much as a person, and take you SO far in life!

Favorite TV show(s): Insecure, The Chi, Atlanta, Scrubs, Fresh Prince, PTI, Around the Horn, The Thrones; basically anything centered around controversy and/or comedic arguing.
