Fun Fact: I studied away with UGA during both my freshman and sophomore year spring breaks – I went to Cuba and Hawaii!
Why did you choose UGA? Two of my cousins went to UGA and always told me how much they loved it. Even coming from out-of-state, I knew as early as freshman year of high school that I wanted to go to Georgia. Each time I visited, I became more confident that UGA was the right place for me.
Favorite Memory as a Bulldog Engineer? My favorite memory as a Bulldog Engineer has been finding a great group of friends in my classes that I get to spend time with each day. Having a close group of people to study with and navigate a challenging major alongside makes everyday so much more rewarding.
