What made you choose Miami Middletown?
Small class sizes, amazingly friendly staff and faculty, it just feels like home!

How did you select your major?
I took an Introduction Sociology class with Dr. Petonito and fell in love with the whole discipline. She is just a great instructor who inspires and engages her students!

What would people be surprised to know about you?
I have an awful fear of heights. Most people see a tall person (I am 6'1") and think we must not mind heights. Nothing can be further from the truth. Anything more than a step ladder and I want to cry. Sabrina Cox and Jennifer Pugh took me up in the St. Louis Arch a few years ago when we went to a student leadership conference for MMSG. I was sweating bullets that whole way, but I am proud to say I survived it! I am also confident when I say I will never do it again!

What is the fondest memory you have during your time at Miami Middletown?
Working with the members of MMSG, Colors and all the student orgs. Student life on this campus is so vibrant and it has been an honor being a part of it!

What do you want to do after graduating from Miami?
I plan to go on to graduate school and hopefully become a professor to inspire students the way I have been inspired here at Miami Middletown!
