Class of 2028 (May)

Minor: Criminal Justice

Why did you become an ambassador?:
I became an ambassador because a former ambassador took me under her wing as a freshman. She listened to me, answered every question I had, supported me throughout it all (and still does today), and ultimately made my transition into college much more enjoyable. I want to help other students the way she helped me.

What do you enjoy most about your program?
I enjoy the community, leadership opportunities, and networking opportunities. The program genuinely feels like a family, not just a club or organization. Everyone knows each other, and there's an unspoken understanding that we all have each other's backs. That sense of belonging is what makes the leadership and networking opportunities feel even more impactful.

Who has been an influential professor, mentor, or advisor for you at JMU?
Kimberly Stewart has been an amazing advisor and mentor. She's an incredible listener, does her job incredibly well, and somehow always knows what to say. It means a lot to have someone so invested in both our personal and professional growth.

What clubs, student organizations, or activities are you involved in?
I currently serve on the executive board of Future Analyst Association, am a member of Women in Intelligence and National Security, and work at UREC as a Fitness Assistant.

What is something you love to do outside of class?
Outside of class, I love weightlifting, hiking and shopping.

What is your favorite spot on campus?
UREC! Honorable mention: the top of the Union when it is nice outside
