The Loveliest Village on the Plains...
I am a Senior at Auburn University pursuing my Bachelor's in Microbiology with aspirations to further my education through veterinary school. My studies are of top priority to me, but Auburn offers the well-rounded experience that made me fall in love with my school. I will always support my team in orange and blue in the beating heat or freezing cold. When I'm not studying or cheering, you can find me enjoying the sunshine with a good book, baking in my kitchen, or exploring all that Auburn has to offer with my friends.
College of
Science and Mathematics
I have the amazing privilege to be educated by experienced professors and skilled peers during my time at Auburn University. The college has encouraged me and provided me the opportunity to enter an undergraduate research fellowship through the College of Veterinary Medicine. COSAM's determination to provide resources to help students in their courses, encourage networking for future career possibilities, and push students past their comfort zones has made me grow as a scientist and a young woman.
Keeping PAWsitive!
Following completion of my bachelors, I plan to pursue a Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine and become board certified as a veterinary surgeon. Working as a veterinary assistant at Southern Regional Veterinary Specialists in Dothan, Alabama has helped me experience and understand the in-depth knowledge required of this speciality, and the staff and Dr. Martin have encouraged me forward in this pursuit.
The Peanut Capital
Born and raised in Dothan, Alabama, I am unashamed of my passion for our National Peanut Festival and our peanut statues that decorate our town. I am thankful to have been raised under the idea of "it takes a village." From the friends who have opened their doors during hard times, to the leaders that work endlessly to improve our city, Dothan has provided me with a full understanding of community, and I will forever be grateful.
