The Honors Program at the University of Georgia brings together one of the most gifted, diverse, and active groups of people not only on campus, but in the country. I am totally honored to be a part of this "institution."

I consider myself a "leader" and enjoy taking responsibilities, making decisions, and being held accountable for my actions. Furthermore, if appointed to the HPSC, I will make it one of my top priorities and be able to dedicate lots of hours to its causes and goals. .
