Why I chose my major

I chose my major because as an athlete all throughout high school, I began to understand the importance of fueling my body. I became fascinated with how the right foods could help me stay strong and it grew into a passion for understanding the science behind it. I want to help others and provide them the information they need to enhance their quality of life.

What I like most about FACS

FACS feels like my home away from home. Being from out of state and coming to a big university was a little nerve-racking. But all the staff and students in our college welcomed everyone and I've been able to build my relationship with them and have felt so supported. Every major in our college has one thing in common and that's helping people. The people here are truly some of the most kind-hearted people I have met. FACS feels like a family.
