My professors and advisors have encouraged me to pursue my passions and have gone out of their way to help me discover opportunities in research and clinical work that I don't believe I would have found anywhere else. I've become a stronger student and better person because of their investment in me.

USC Aiken taught me about advanced computer science techniques in a close student-professor relationship environment. This fueled my inspiration to become a software engineer, and I am on the right path to achieve that!

When I graduate from USC Aiken I will graduate with much more than a degree. USC Aiken has given me a second family, life-long memories, and the best four years I could ask for. As a future teacher and coach, I strive to give back all that USC Aiken has given me.

I learned at USC Aiken that success is not measured by your accolades and achievements. Success is determined by the growth of an individual, the improvements of their craft, and the failures they have overcome.

One place on this campus that I would say has helped me the most has been the VMSS student center, without them I don’t know if I would have been able to easily organize and select my funding to pay for the college experience I’ve had. And I’d like to especially thank Robert Murphy who runs that center.
