Describe yourself in 5 words. Punny, rap-loving Southern gentleman foodie.
Describe your ideal date. Dinner at a quirky (yet delicious) restaurant with a great vibe, then walking around Centennial Park, followed by a drive-in movie. I’m a bit of a hopeless romantic so no, “Netflix and chill” isn’t on the radar.
Three ways a person can win your heart. Have a sense of humor, appreciate brunch, keep a conversation going
Three fun facts: I’m writing my senior thesis on internet rappers, I have a national championship ring for trivia, and I write a food column centered around brunch.
What do you see yourself (ideally) doing after you graduate? I’d love to stay in Atlanta working in some capacity in the startup/communications scene. Currently, I’m the Communications Director for Health Connect South, a nonprofit healthcare startup in Atlanta.
What are some of your favorite places in Atlanta? Ponce City Market, the Jackson Street Bridge (it has the best view of the skyline), Downtown Decatur
What has been your biggest accomplishment since being at Emory? Being Campus Cutie, of course! That, or overhauling the Wheel’s print and web edition. After 90+ years of being in the past, I’ve helped transform theWheel into a national leader in digital college media.
What is your hidden talent? I’m a very talented musician. I can play about seven different instruments, have perfect pitch and am a really good singer. I write, compose and arrange music and used to play in a blues band. Also, I am a pretty cool DJ (at least that’s what my friends tell me).
