Why did you choose Covenant?

I got recruited by the soccer coach, visited, loved it.

Living with my roommate, Ross Blaising on the Ghetto.

My favorite class is “African American Literature.” Studying Jean Toomer’s Cane has been one of the highlights of my semester.

Ross Blaising. He is a constant friend and an honest accountability partner. Living with him has taught me a thousand things about myself – how to love and serve others and how to be increasingly faithful in my walk with Christ.

From after dinner to around midnight. I hang out in the library, read, drink some coffee, journal, write papers, and so on.

What are your post-graduation plans?

I hope to teach literature, whether in high school or college. We will see what doors open.

How is Covenant equipping you for the future?

Covenant’s English professors are teaching me a heck of a lot about literature, how to read it and write about it, so that’s important for my future. Most importantly, Covenant is teaching me heck of a lot about what it looks like to walk with the Lord in a community.
