Faculty mentors
“Carthage faculty have made an impact by giving me access to resources. Their support has also helped me be more open and vocal with people on campus.”
Favorite class
“I really enjoyed the exercise and sport science classes, as well as Nutrition for Health and Performance. The way the courses were structured and how the instructors taught really made the classes engaging.”
Campus involvement
“I am involved in women’s wrestling. I really enjoy being a part of the wrestling community and having opportunities off campus to gain more recognition.”
Career goal
“I want to do something that makes me happy while giving me a variety of experiences. I love sports, nutrition, and business, so I want to pursue something with those fields. I also like being seen and heard, so a career that makes me very involved in a community is a plus.”
Favorite spot on campus
“I really enjoy sitting by the Kissing Rock!”
Favorite memory
“Some of my favorite memories are from the Kickoff Carnival during the first week of school. It was nice to walk around and see people and get something to eat from the food trucks. Also, I have fond memories of the sporting events that are held on campus.”
Best study tip
“Take time out of your schedule to really sit down and do the work that is assigned that day or that week. Workloads will feel a lot lighter, and it will teach you time management.”
Best tip for making friends
“Be kind and smile. Even a small smile can make a big difference.”
What would your 8-year-old self think of you now?
“I think my 8-year-old self would be very proud and happy with the path I am on. Ever since I was little, I’ve been active and wanted to be strong. So, to continue that path and have the opportunity to become knowledgeable on the subject, my younger self would be very happy.”
