My involvement in the Honors College: I am an honor’s ambassador as well as a member of the Black Honors Association.
My involvement in Clemson University: I am involved in Gospel Choir, Clemson Black Student Union, and Collegiate Curls.
Why I chose Clemson and the Honors College: I chose Clemson because it is a great Engineering school that is neither too close or too far from home. I also got to connect with current students prior to committing, and their openness and guidance sealed the deal for me. I chose the Honors College because I knew having a more family oriented community within the larger community that is Clemson would benefit me. I also joined for the opportunities, challenges, and guidance it would provide.
My future goals: I plan to go into pharmaceuticals with my Chemical Engineering degree and help increase access to medicine for those who need it.
