WHY DID YOU CHOOSE WVU?

Growing up, I went to West Virginia University football games in the fall and basketball games in the spring. As a proud West Virginia native, I followed in my family's and friend's footsteps and chose WVU. I wanted to be connected to my West Virginia community and stay close to home among the hills. I chose WVU because I knew I could explore any course of study, be provided with all the resources to succeed, and have my friends and family there to support me.

What is your favorite Mountaineer memory?

I had an awesome freshman year going to plays, concerts, games, trying different student organizations, and even joining a sorority. To top off my freshman year I went to London with the Art History Department! During the trip I learned about museum practices by visiting museums and getting lectures with executive staff. We even had free time to roam around and explore London. 

Why did you want to become a PSA?

As a PSA, I will have the opportunity to represent the University I love and give back to the community and state that have given so much to me. 

What did you learn from the PSA experience?

The Presidential Student Ambassador program has taught me about leadership, speech, and service. The experience was valuable and I was able to learn about myself and others in the process.
