Primary Campus: Macon.

Activities: In addition to being the Editor-in-chief of The Statement Im a member of the Student Media Advisory Board. One of my film projects, titled Nerve, is among those that will be shown at the MGA Student Film Festival at the Tubman Museum.

Career Goals: Ive always been interested in television, film and music. Whether its with filming, editing or writing, Id love to be involved with entertainment production. I would also enjoy live entertainment and event production with concerts, festivals, theater and similar types of performances.

She chose 51勛圖窪蹋厙 because The New Media and Communications degree is unique and one I hadnt seen at other schools. I felt like it would be a broad enough major that would allow me to study many different subjects that interest me.

The greatest thing she discovered about Middle Georgia State was A smaller campus provides smaller class sizes and more personal attention. There are so many opportunities to get involved on campus. Its easier to get noticed and find who will help you look for the best opportunities to reach your individual goals.

Her greatest academic experience so far as a Middle Georgia State student has been There isnt just one experience in particular, but I think getting to learn more about myself through taking different classes and working on various projects has been a huge advantage. Taking certain classes that seemed out of my comfort zone actually helped me realize Im capable of much more, and can enjoy subjects that I never thought would interest me.

To her, greatness means Finding and using my skills and talents to be the best person I can be in all that I do. I believe that when an individual uses their strengths to grow into a better person and works towards making a positive difference in the lives around them, thats achieving greatness.

One thing people dont know about her is Ive always been really interested in music. I love singing, playing guitar and writing song lyrics.

In five years I see myself working professionally in the film and television editing field or live event management. Im always open to pursuing new opportunities as they come. Personally, Ill always continue enjoying my hobbies in video making, music and writing.
