She has made the Deans List each semester at UTC while maintaining a GPA of 3.6. She is a member of the Alpha Lambda Delta Honor Society and the Phi Eta Sigma Honor Society. She is proficient in written & spoken Spanish and earned the highest average in Advanced Placement Spanish in 2003 which afforded her the opportunity to go to Spain to study the language and culture. Her desire is to become a doctor in order to give back to her family and community in a profession that both intrigues and delights her. She has given of herself in numerous volunteer efforts and continue to be inspired by  the selflessness and self donation examples of Rev. James T. Shannon.  When asked why she is interested in this scholarship her reply was: " This scholarship is more than just a monetary award. It will be a constant reminder of who I should be and I should continue to give unto others as Greer Chapel and Rev. Shannon has given to me."
