Career Goal: After graduating from Ole Miss with honors and degrees in accounting and public policy leadership, I plan on attending law school. I would then like to pursue a career as a lobbyist, helping others by influencing government leaders to make meaningful change.

Favorite Memory from High School: This past summer, I was given the opportunity to participate in the Lott Leadership Institute Summer Program for High School Students at the University of Mississippi. The five-week program consists of two college courses and a one-week trip to D.C. My favorite memory from the program was serving breakfast at the S.O.M.E. Soup Kitchen in Washington, D.C. I was able to see the difference one can make in another’s life by simply smiling and saying hello to someone who may not have much interaction with others because of the way he/she looks or because of the fact that they are homeless. It was beyond rewarding.
