Why I chose my major

I chose consumer journalism because it combined my passions for serving people and communicating effectively. This major allowed me the flexibility of taking courses that piqued my interest and helped me decide on a career path I valued.

What I like most about FACS

As many times as I changed my major, I always wanted to be in FACS. All the professors in this college are what made it stand out to me. Each and every professor I have had has shown a genuine interest in my learning and success, and having them in my corner made all the difference in my college career.

Post-graduation plans

I have accepted a full-time position as lead copywriter at Hinge Creative Co. in Athens.
