Fun Facts
Favorite books/movies?
Brene Brown is one of my favorite authors, with her books, “Daring Greatly” as well as “Braving the Wilderness” being among my top picks! I also love historical fiction (WWII period is currently my favorite) and autobiographies.
My favorite movie is McFarland USA. My favorite TV series are Modern Family and Parks and Rec.
If you could study any random thing other than HDFS/MFT, what would it be?
Interior Design or Dietetics
What advice would you offer to someone thinking about graduate school?
It is never too late to continue your education! Time will pass by whether you are studying or not, so don’t hesitate to grow by going back to school. There is a place for you! Going back to school has been one of the best choices that I have ever made and has taken me to wonderful places that I never imagined, Auburn University being one of them. You will never know how far you can go until you try!
