My favorite spot on campus, as of now, is the library because it is a great place to clear my mind and have some silence!

Why did you choose Chatham?

I chose Chatham because I felt special when I came on campus. I felt like I could be my own person without any judgment. Everyone knows me by my name and not just a number.

What do you love most about being a Chatham woman?

I love being a Chatham woman because the University offers us numerous opportunities to make us the outstanding women we can be. They take pride in the prestigious titles the University holds. It makes me feel like I can change something that will always be remembered. Chatham women are strong, confident, and fearless…and that is exactly how I want to be in the years to come!
