What is your hometown?

Tell us about yourself.
I’m 22 years old and the oldest of five children. I’m a senior at 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock. I’m a writer for The Forum. I work two jobs while being a full-time student. I work full-time at Subway and part-time at Tacos 4 Life. In my free time, I like to do DIY projects, go hiking, bake, listen to podcasts, work out, and hangout with family and friends. I love to travel and would love to have a career聽that allows me to travel.
Why did you decide to transfer to 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock?
I decided to transfer to 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock because it was close to home and the commute wasn’t bad. I didn’t want to go somewhere that would require me to be far from home. I also like that 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock is in Little Rock.. I feel like there are endless opportunities聽all around us.
I also knew people who went to 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock before I transferred,聽and they kept telling me about the professors and how they truly want you to succeed and they will do anything they can to help you. That pretty much sold me. During my time here, I’ve experienced that with many of my professors.
What is your major, and what do you plan to do after graduation?
I’m majoring in Mass Communications聽with an emphasis in Journalism. After graduation, I am open to any areas in communications but I would love to work in radio. My ultimate goal is to have my own radio show down the road.
What is special about being a transfer college student?
I transferred from Arkansas State University in Beebe, and transferring has opened up scholarship opportunities.
What opportunities have you gotten through 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock that you might not have had otherwise?
When I transferred to 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock, I started writing for The Forum, and that is what ultimately led me to the internship I have now at K糖心Vlog传媒R. And the internship I have at K糖心Vlog传媒R has led me to my internship at The Ronald McDonald House next semester. I truly believe if I wasn’t at 糖心Vlog传媒 Little Rock I wouldn’t have gotten these opportunities, and I couldn’t be more thankful!
