What is your age: 20 

Year: Junior.

Major/minor: Economics major with political science minor

Campus involvement: I am currently the president of Mercer’s chapter of Delta Sigma Pi which is the country’s foremost professional business fraternity. I also work with the Mercer Football program with equipment and videography.
 
Describe your personality and character: I would describe myself as upbeat and enthusiastic. I’m also very determined and hate to see myself not succeed at things.
 
Favorite Mercer memory: My favorite memory from my time here at Mercer would definitely be the championship game of the CIT Basketball tournament last year. To be able to experience such a big achievement for Mercer while being a student here was amazing. The school spirit that I know and love has never been more evident than that night.
 
Your future profession: I probably will want to be working on public policy within the political sphere. Anyone who is friends with me on Facebook knows how into political theory I am, and working with the government will let me experience all of that even more closely. 
 
Your worst fear: My worst fear would be me failing or letting down my fiancé or family. They mean everything to me and I live everyday wanting to make them proud.
 
If you could spend one week with any person in the world It would be: President Dwight D Eisenhower. Even though he isn’t alive, to me he is possibly the greatest president we’ve ever had. He showed great self restraint and was willing to accept that his personal beliefs may not always be right. He also played a great role in fighting inequality.
 
Bucket list: 
1)Marry my perfect fiancé.
2)Visit every single state in the US.
3)Spend a good amount of time in both Europe and Australia. 
 
Hidden talent: I play multiple musical instruments. I’m not amazing at many of them but I have a knack of being able to pick up an instrument and figure out how to play it quickly.
 
Currently listening to: White Christmas the movie 
 
If you could have dinner with anyone in the world it would be: Peyton Manning. Solely because I am a big time Denver Broncos fan and Peyton is a great man in addition to being a great football player.
 
Favorite movie: White Christmas
 
Favorite Quote: “The only person you have to be better than is yourself, and in your case that is already tough enough.” M*A*S*H
 
Idea that keeps you inspired: Every leadership role that you take upon yourself should never be viewed as a burden on you. You should view it instead as a challenge to improve the skills that you have.
