Why I chose my major

I knew I wanted to select a science-based major that would allow me to meet all the prerequisite requirements for physician assistant (PA) school. I specifically decided on nutritional sciences because I heard great things about the program coming into UGA, and I knew it would give me real-world knowledge that I can apply in my day-to-day life and that will one day allow me to provide high quality, holistic patient care. 

What I like most about FACS

 I love the environment of FACS. It feels like home, a place where everyone genuinely cares about you and wants to see you succeed. The faculty in this college have poured so much into my peers and me and have played a huge role in my success here at UGA. In addition, the relatively smaller size of our college allows us to get to know everyone on a more personal level and make connections that have been beneficial now and will continue to be down the road. 

Post-graduation plans

I plan to attend PA School at Samford University starting in the fall of 2022.
