Major:  Applied Mathematics and Statistics: Data Analytics with a minor in Military Science 

Why ÂÒÂ×ȺP?:  When choosing the place I would attend college, I found that Florida Southern was not only the best fit for the size of the campus, but I also felt that I could grow as an individual here. ÂÒÂ×ȺP not only had an excellent ROTC program but also many more great areas of academics, involvement, and opportunities, plus the campus is beautiful!

What's on your ÂÒÂ×ȺP bucket list?:  I would like to win a raffle at any event and an intramural competition! I'd also like to kayak on Lake Hollingsworth, go on a Discover Florida trip, and I can't wait to swim in the Water Dome senior year!

I knew ÂÒÂ×ȺP was home when….  "The moment I stepped on campus, ÂÒÂ×ȺP felt like home. My family lives overseas in Germany, and being far from them was hard. However, ÂÒÂ×ȺP welcomed me with open arms. Home to me is a place where you feel comfortable and have a family, and ÂÒÂ×ȺP truly had that with their professors, students, and so many others."

What are you looking forward to the most? : The one thing I'm looking forward to more than graduating is Senior Splash! Being able to go into the Water Dome without worrying about the fine is awesome!
