I am a proud Clemson Tiger, born and raised in the south, lover of all things pink, orange, and preppy, fan of college football and basketball, preacher's kid, daugher and sister in a loving family of 4, talk with a southern accent, hoping to be a pharmacist, college senior, about to move to Charleston, SC to go to pharmacy school for the next four years. Join me on my adventure through life as an undergrad/grad student living and loving the southern life.


"And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them..." -Jeremiah 32:39



About Me

I am currently a senior at Clemson University and will graduate in May 2010 with a degree in Spanish & International Health with an emphasis in Community & Rural Development. In August 2010, I will begin pharmacy school at the South Carolina College of Pharmacy at the Medical University of South Carolina, located in one of South Carolina's most famous and historic cities - Charleston.

I have a desire to serve the Hispanic community and hope that a career in pharmacy will allow me to do so. I have spent time in Central America - Belize and Costa Rica, as well as in Quito, Ecuador. I have also visited Nicaragua and Panama. In the fall of 2009, I spent the semester studying abroad in Costa Rica. While there, I took courses at the Universidad de Costa Rica campus in the town in which I lived, studying Spanish, sociology, literature, cultures, and global economy. I would now consider myself to be at a moderate level of fluency in Spanish. I also worked in the local hospital, completing 130+ hours of service to fulfill an internship requirement for my major. I assisted the administration in the hospital with the completion of their Strategic Plan, and important step in the accreditation process. The experience of living in Costa Rica was incredible and I hope to return many times to visit. In the future, I would love to become more fluent in Spanish and find ways to serve my community by using my Spanish-speaking skills.

Other fun facts:
-I was born in South Carolina, raised in South Carolina, have gone to school in South Carolina, and I absolutely love it! I love the South and its charm, and will not leave if I can help it.
-HGTV is hands-down my favorite channel. I love every program that comes on. My TV stays on HGTV, unless I am watching a sporting event, Dancing with the Stars, The Bachelor, or What Not to Wear.
-I love plundering through thrift stores and finding things to fix up and use!
-I love taking pictures, mainly of nature-y things. I currently have a Nikon Coolpix camera (highly recommend it!) - it's the third Nikon Coolpix I have had, and I love it. One day, when I am out of school and have a real job and enough money, I want a nice camera that I can use to take lots and lots of pictures!
