This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Mercer chapter and does not reflect the views of Her Campus.

When she came on her visit to Mercer, she wanted a change of scenery. She enjoys the campus atmosphere she has made her home for nearly four years.

Majoring in media studies, Kourtney has minors in business, art and photography.

Kourtney likes how media studies focuses more on film rather than communications.

She will try to focus on media studies after she graduates in May. Kourtney would like to move back to California and work for movie studios such as Universal or Paramount.

While she has enjoyed being a collegiate student-athlete, she admits that it can be pretty difficult to keep focus and balance. “Especially with practice, and then you have to go write a paper,” said Carter.

Having had a difficult basketball season this past year, Kourtney hopes they will be able to turn it around even after she is gone. “I hope that they can win the tournament. This year was a big disappointment. But the players that they have and the ones coming in are good will make for a good team next year,” said Carter.

Kourtney’s favorite place to visit is Venice Beach, California. She enjoys the different shops on the boardwalk, the California atmosphere and most of all the people.
