What is your favorite thing about being Georgia Tech? Being surrounded by peers and professors who are fabulous, creative, approachable, and ingenious and encourage all students to develop as a person, as well as the variety of tools and opportunities like study abroad at Georgia Tech that empower the students and faculty!
What do you do for fun in Atlanta? In Atlanta, I enjoy going to the museums, parks, and historical sites. I also enjoy visiting a variety of different music-related performances, such as festivals and concerts. The variety of artwork and creative work that is occurring in the city is also great to see!
What has been your favorite class? My favorite class was the spring freshman studio. The final project in the course was based off the Cabbagetown historical district from which we developed our first real work of architecture! The entire experience of the studio course was insightful, especially as the final studio of freshman year.
