- Why I chose my major
I chose HDFS because I wanted to learn about people. I was interested in understanding all the different parts of development, from physical growth to how family systems develop. What I love about HDFS is that it’s not just preparing me for a career in the nonprofit world; it’s also preparing me for life. It’s helped me become a better person, friend, future parent, and community member.
- What I like most about FACS
What I love most about FACS is the people. The college truly feels like a family, and it's been a blessing to learn and grow alongside such incredible students and faculty.
- Post-graduation plans
I will complete my master’s degree in Nonprofit Management and Leadership at the UGA School of Social Work.
