I am a senior Environmental & Sustainability Studies (with a concentration in Environments) and Anthropology double major. I was raised in Dacula, Georgia (about an hour from Atlanta) where I lived with my father and sister before moving to Lexington. I am also a fifth generation UK student!

I am very proud of my work serving as a student representative for the Environmental & Sustainability Studies major the past semester. I also have worked on campus with ResLife, EMPOWER Women’s Leadership Program, and UK 101. During my first summer in Lexington, I worked in a research lab doing field work analyzing snakes & the causes of snake fungal disease. I have been on the Dean's List every semester I've attended UK, and I was recently accepted to the Omicron Delta Kappa and Phi Kappa Phi honor societies as well. I love meeting prospective students and showing them around campus; please reach out to me with any questions about the college or ENS & Anthropology!
