What’s your favorite thing about being an Honors student?:

My favorite thing about being an Honors student is the community that the Honors College has! I have built such meaningful relationships with the faculty, Ensemble and other Honors students from being in the Honors College.

 

What’s your favorite thing about Greensboro?:

My favorite thing about Greensboro is how diverse and cultural it is. There are people here with so may different backgrounds and so many different walks of life. I feel at home and welcomed here by the diversity around me.

 

If you could travel anywhere, where would you go?:

I would go to the beaches of southern Spain like Malaga! The beach is literally my happy place and I feel so at peace in such a setting. Spain is a beautiful country and so rich in culture, I think I would have the best time.

 

My advice for prospective Honors students is:

I would take advantage of the community here! Meet people! Talk! Make connections with the Ensemble and faculty! I have gotten so many opportunities and have experiences so many great things by just making connections and relationships within the community here.
