Hobbies
Traveling, shopping, and anything sports-related! I love attending Spartan athletic events and Carolina Panthers games. I enjoy hanging out with my family and playing with my dog (Ray-Ray) and my cat (Peppers).
Favorite Thing About UNCG
My favorite thing about UNCG is the amazing faculty and staff who have the ability to care for each and every student as an individual. And the campus is absolutely gorgeous throughout every change of season!
Favorite Greensboro Hangout
I like the downtown area, which is only a mile away from UNCG’s campus. There are many specialty shops, restaurants, and theaters to visit. The Greensboro Grasshoppers’ baseball stadium is also located in downtown.
