Describe your personality and character: I am very energetic, optimistic, and diligent. For my character, my prayer is that I am reflecting the character of Christ and demonstrating His love.

Favorite Part of Mercer: My favorite part of Mercer is the community we have here. The students are highly involved with activities on campus, and the professors are invested in their students’ lives. Mercer has become my second home, and I know I will have strong ties with this wonderful place after I graduate.
My future profession: Accountant. I enjoy this area of business because it is analytical, logical, and practical. There are so many applications of the field and opportunities in it. Everyone needs a good accountant!
My worst fear: It is kind of weird. It is being struck by lightening. When I was in elementary school, I saw a television show about freak accidents, and it showed a lady being struck by lightning through a window in her house. It freaked me out a little bit.
If you could spend one week with any person in the world, who would that be and why: I think it would be kind of cool to spend a week with the duo of Kerri Walsh and Misty May-Treanor.
