Major: Graphic Design
- What is the biggest thing you will take away from your time here at Samford?
I learned so many things during my time at Samford about my major, life, and myself. The experiences I had here made me into a better person and prepared me for my future career. The biggest thing I would take away from my time here are the relationships I’ve made. Whether it is with a fellow classmate or a professor who becomes a great mentor, these are relationships I wouldn’t change for the world.
- What is the best piece of advice you would you give to undergraduates?
If I had to give advice to undergraduates, I would say that it’s ok to do things on your own. It’s always fun to do things with your friends, but it’s also important to do an activity on your own. It allows you to focus on yourself and after college everyone starts to go do their own things and won’t be just down the hall from you.
- What are your plans after for graduation?
My immediate plans after graduation is to move back home for the time being while job searching. I hope to soon be working as a graphic designer in a big city like New York or Boston.

Major: Religion
- What is the biggest thing you will take away from your time here at Samford?
The biggest thing that I will take away from my time at Samford is the growth and maturation that occurred in many areas of my life. I matured spiritually so much through so many mentors and friends’ counsel and encouragement and through so many opportunities to study the Bible and worship with other believers. I matured academically as I learned how to really study and research and through the professors who I was able to glean so much knowledge from. I matured practically through being independent, making decisions, and facing tough circumstances.
- What is the best piece of advice you would give to undergraduates?
The best piece of advice that I would give to undergraduates would be to make the most of the you have time at Samford as well as in the city of Birmingham by intentionally fostering and deepening relationships – relationships with people who are wiser and can mentor and guide you, relationships with peers who can build you up and hold you accountable, and relationships with those who you can pour into, mentor, and disciple.
- What are your plans for after graduation?
After graduation I am getting married and moving to Wilmore, Kentucky to pursue a Master of Divinity at Asbury Theological Seminary.
