Why I chose my major

Growing up an athlete myself, I am eager to be a part of the movement to make evidence-based nutrition common knowledge for all athletes and young adults.

What I like most about FACS

I love being in a smaller college like FACS because of the individualized attention and care you receive as a student. It is an amazing feeling to walk the halls of Dawson and see all of your peers and professors that you recognize in the halls. It truly feels like a family.

Post-graduation plans

I will be moving to Nashville, Tenn., to attend Lipscomb University’s combined master of science in sports nutrition and dietetic internship program.
