What do you aspire to do once you graduate? I plan to work in a chemistry lab for a couple months before reapplying to do another Disney College program or a professional internship through Disney in a chemistry lab. This is my backup plan, because I was originally accepted to a second Disney College program that was cancelled due to COVID-19.

Why did you choose this profession? Science has been something I've grown up with, because my dad is a chemical engineer and my mother is a nurse practitioner. Chemistry was the science that I enjoyed most in high school. I would like to go back and work for Disney, because I loved the company and the people I worked with so much. 

How do you feel Georgia College prepared you for this profession? I think that the Chemistry Department here is absolutely amazing. My research here is the reason I moved onto the interview stage of a professional chemistry internship at Disney. 

What was your favorite class at GC and why?  The class I enjoyed the most was junior seminar for chemistry, because we all had to do a presentation of careers with a chemistry degree, but most of them had to do with a different field than just working in a chemistry lab.

What did you enjoy most about working for Disney? How the people I worked with treated me like family. 

How long were you a lab assistant? I have been a lab assistant for the past two semesters. 

What did you enjoy most about being a lab assistant?  I loved helping other students. 

What are your future education plans? I plan to eventually get an MBA.
