What made you choose to come to Auburn?
I have been coming to Auburn football games with my father for as long as I can remember, and I have always just loved the atmosphere at Auburn. Out of all the colleges that I looked at, Auburn was the only one that had everything that I was looking for. For me, Auburn is the ultimate college experience.

How has receiving the Alumni Scholarship impacted your life?The Alumni Scholarship has allowed me to not only attend the college that my dad has always dreamed that I would attend, but also the one that just feels right for me. This scholarship is helping to pave the way for the rest of my life.

What has been your best experience at Auburn so far?For me, the best Auburn experiences don’t always happen while you’re at Auburn. It’s those “War Eagle” greetings that you get at the most random places that I enjoy the most.

What would you say to a high school student from your area who is considering coming to Auburn University?I would first tell them everything that I love about Auburn, but then I would probably invite them to an Auburn football game or to spend a couple days with me visiting the campus. I think that once they see the campus and meet the people at Auburn, they wouldn’t be able to not come!

What do you think off when you hear?

Auburn Spirit:It’s infectious!

Auburn Family:It’s everywhere and everlasting

War Eagle:Auburn greeting and battle cry…football games!

Auburn Club:friendly organizations.

Alumni Association:generous people who want others to enjoy the same experiences they had.

What clubs/activities are you a part of?
I am involved with the Student Alumni Association. I plan on possibly helping out with the University Program Council and Impact. I am also planning on being in Younglife, and possibly some art and choir programs.
