Throughout my years at Clemson, I have noticed there are ways for every student to get involved with something they enjoy. Through Clemson’s resources, I have had the opportunity to Co-Op three times with General Electric in Greenville, so I have plenty of knowledge for students interested in the program. I also joined a social fraternity, Fiji, the fall semester of my freshman year. Some other interests of mine include golfing, playing tennis, hunting, fishing, camping, and I recently trained for and completed the Atlanta Marathon. I look forward to meeting and assisting you in your early stages of college.
