About me: I cannot put into words how excited I am for a second year as part of the Orange Jackets Executive Board! I am a business major who loves problem solving and Times New Roman (seriously, I don't use any other font). Fun facts include my obsession with tattoos, my secret dream of being a wedding planner, and my love of movies getting Oscars buzz. I am really really really bad a texting, but I want to spend this year being totally available to actives, Taps, and alumni, so just keep sending me emojis until I reply.

About me: It's nice to meet you!!! You can find me spending way too much time and money recreating Pinterest crafts. I'm from deep South Mississippi and I love all things Southern and sweet! My past times include lively debates, Little League baseball spectating, and pretending like I have enough time and taste to be a novice interior designer.

Favorite quote(s): "Let me be something of every minute of every hour of my life. Let me be gay, let me be sad. Let me be cold, let me be warm. Only let me be something every blessed minute.

Whole-ass one thing." -Ron Swanson, Parks & Recreation

Favorite quote: "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you."- Matthew 7:7
