Why did you choose ETSU? 
I chose ETSU because as soon as I stepped foot on the campus, it felt like home. I felt like I actually belonged here instead of being another student like at other universities. I also felt that ETSU was the best choice for me since I am on the Pre-Med track. ETSU has so many opportunities, and I felt like it was the best place to help prepare me for my future. I love our beautiful campus.  
 
What would you want a prospective student to know before coming on a tour with you? 
Searching for a college can be very overwhelming. There are a lot of decisions to be made and a lot of things changing all at once. Throughout this journey, I will be here to be open and honest. I am always here if someone has questions or if someone just wants a friend on campus. The best thing to do right now is to be open and ask many many questions! 
 
What is your favorite study spot on campus?  
My favorite place to study is the library. I mainly love being on the first floor because there’s always people around me working and it keeps me motivated. If I ever need to focus more, or need a quiet spot, I can always move to a study room. I just love being in the library because everything I need is right there. Most importantly, I can go grab a bagel from Einstein’s to motivate me to keep studying.
