Major: Environmental Science
Mascot: Wave
How did you first hear about your school, and what made you apply?
“My grandmother spent part of her life growing up in New Orleans, in a house that is just across the street from the Tulane campus, so, Tulane was a school I had heard about often growing up. It first ended up on my list because my brother had applied there when he was going through his college process, so I had joined him on a trip to New Orleans when he was touring. I ended up loving the city, so it was always in the back of my mind. Later, when I was figuring out the types of things I wanted from a college myself, I realized Tulane met all of my criteria!”
What are you most excited about?
“First of all, I am super excited for all of the different festivals that take place in New Orleans like Mardi Gras and Tulane own Crawfest, which I was lucky enough to get to visit on my tour in the spring. I plan on rushing in the spring, and I am super excited to watch football games! Roll Wave!”
