Where are you now? Clinton Junior High School in Clinton, MS

Why did you decide to come to MSU and pursue a degree in education? My dad and uncle were both MSU attendees. MSU was "in state", but it also created some distance from my family (helped me develop as a young adult). MSU had the programs and atmosphere that I was looking for in a college.

What do you want people to know about you? I'm pretty easy going and enjoy nerding out with new people!

What activities were you involved in on campus (outside of METP)? Mississippi State Association of Educators, Shackouls Honors College, Baptist Student Union, Reformed University Fellowship, and Vietnamese Student Association.

What advice would you give to entering freshmen or students finishing up high school? Don't become overwhelmed with classwork and extracurriculars. Enjoy your time growing.
