Year in Review

Below is a collage of my favorite and most valuable experiences since being a college student at UC.

2023-2024

Sophomore Year

Became an official Psi Chi member

One of my very first goals when stepping foot onto campus freshman year was to eventually become a member of Psi Chi. I worked hard to keep up good grades as Psi Chi requires you to have a 3.5 GPA and be in the top 35% of your major. Thankfully, I was awarded a membership Spring 2024.

Voted President of the Psychology Club

I have been extremely grateful to go from being the president of the Psychology club at my high school to being the president of the psychology club at my University. It has been a privilege to assist others in learning about all the major has to offer.

Started a food blog

Publishing my food blog marked a significant milestone in my life. It's a step I never thought I'd have the confidence to take. Through this experience, I've gained a deeper insight into what really counts. Learning to champion myself has empowered me to venture into spaces I once found daunting.

Started my job at the Office of the President

At the office of the President, I have had the opportunity to collaborate with the President, Vice President, and Executive Assistants, on the day-to-day execution of tasks. I also get to help out with special events such as football and basketball games, commencements, and holiday parties.

Elected Vice President of Melanin Fitness

Engaging with the black community at UC has profoundly impacted my life in a positive way. The University African American Cultural Center (AACRC) plays a significant role in fostering a sense of community among black students. Additionally, Melanin Fitness provides a space for black girls to come together, not only to exercise but also to build a supportive community where everyone feels comfortable sharing personal struggles that come with being a black woman.

Appreciated time with family

As I spend my time in college, I come to terms with the fact that I am truly moving out from home. I make sure to spend my breaks from school back in Indiana with my family. My new favorite way to show appreciation for all they have done is by cooking for them! They are my biggest supporters and are the reason I am where I am today.

Kept up with yoga and pilates classes

Staying active was a great way to keep up with my work-life balance. I chose to keep up with it entering into my second year of college. I built amazing relationships with my instructors Brian and Ayana.

Attended sporting events

This year I got to watch the football and basketball games from the President's suite!

2022-2023

Freshman Year

I pushed myself out of my comfort zone by setting challenging goals for myself. I got active by joining workout classes and made new friends by joining extracurriculars. My goals for the academic year were to achieve a 4.0 GPA and apply for a leadership position in my favorite club.

I ended up receiving a 3.95 GPA for the fall semester, and a 4.0 GPA for spring.

I applied to be a Board Member for the Melanin Fitness Club and was voted Vice President

Made new friends

Being from Indiana, I didn't know anyone going into the school year at UC. I got lucky and made friends with an amazing group of girls within just the first week of being on campus! We became practically attached at the hip.

Got into yoga

Staying active is very important to me and a key part of my self-care. I took a yoga class both for course credit as well as through the rec center. Yoga taught my patience as I realized every new pose takes time to master.

Explored the city

I absolutely loved the city life the second I stepped foot in Cincinnati. My friends and I tried new restaurants, walked around downtown, and took in amazing views like of the Ohio River.

Attended freshmen events

My favorite event was watching Spiderman in the Nippert stadium with my friends!

Sent my brother off to dental school

My brother got accepted into dental schools and committed to Meharry! We took a family trip to Nashville to attend his white coat ceremony.

Started pilates classes

I got involved in Pilates for the amazing health benefits.
