What is your favorite Alpha Chi memory?

It's hard to choose one, but of my favorite Alpha Chi memories is going white water rafting in Columbus! I've always wanted to go and was glad to share my first experience with my AXO friends. I'll never forget our tour guide falling out of the raft and moving down the lazy river!

If you could live anywhere for a year, where would it be?

A year would be the perfect amount of time to live in Florida near Orlando. I don't think its where I would pick to live my whole life, but I would love a little more time to volunteer at Give Kids the World Village and a way to go to Disney World as often as possible.

What is your ultimate dream job?

My ultimate dream job is actually the one I'm pursuing, to be a physician's assistant and to have the opportunity to explore different areas of medicine through that career. I most hope to spend time working in pediatrics.

If you could have any superpower what would it be?

My superpower of choice has always been flight. It would be awesome to be able to travel wherever I wanted, and it seems like it would be plain fun. I love superhero movies and wished I could fly as a kid after watching Superman for the first time.

What made you choose to come to Auburn?

Auburn has been important to my family for generations, and I've been coming all of my life for football games. I was sure I wanted to come here for school not only because it feels like home, but also because I was confident it would lead me to a successful career and give me opportunities to branch out on campus.

What sold you on Alpha Chi?

Alpha Chi's musical history caught my attention at first. Later, the real hook was not only how genuine each Alpha Chi I met was when they told me about themselves and the sorority, but also how genuinely interested they were in what I had to say, too. I felt more comfortable and more "myself" at Alpha Chi than I did anywhere else during recruitment.
