“My experience as a Getterman Scholar helped me discern my vocation in law and pursue it wholeheartedly. I had not been certain of my calling before coming to Baylor, but through meaningful coursework, prayer, and honest conversations with faculty and friends, I discovered my desire to give back through law. I am eager to explore the field further, with all the lessons in drive and faith that this program has afforded me. 

I have always been a believer in the value of a holistic liberal arts education that enables people to grow not only into successful professionals but also into thriving citizens, family members, and children of God. Thanks to its well-ordered mission and passionate mentorship, the Honors College has given me exactly that. I could not have asked for a more formative undergraduate education.

If I could give one piece of advice to incoming Gettermans, it would be to take advantage of every opportunity that comes your way, but to remain humble and grateful through it all. Being a part of this program is a phenomenal opportunity, but it comes with a responsibility to serve, lead, and walk with the Lord. When it comes to this program, you will get out as much as you put in." 

After graduation plans: Attending law school at Washington University in St. Louis.
