Motto: "If you fall, try to land on your back, because if you can look up, you can get up”

Why I Love TSU:  This institution embodies the holistic vision and mission of what an HBCU is and how much they care. Students at TSU have the opportunity to evolve in this incubator of success and excellence. For many years, TSU has made history with our greats; but now it is our turn to write the next page of our history and it begins with us! Our journey forward will be achieved through engagement, efficiency and excellence!

Life Beyond the Land of Golden Sunshine: After I graduate from Tennessee State University, I look forward to obtaining my Master’s Degree, and after that my Doctoral Degree. I plan to one day become the United States Secretary of Education. I have a strong love and passion for the education field and I plan to take us to the next level.

What I Plan to Accomplish during this Internship: What I plan to gain from this internship is the ability to expand on my writing skills and develop a more intellectual take on English literature. I plan to contribute by launching an Instagram page for LLP that will allow students to engage with all of the great things that our department has to offer. I will begin to do a daily social media post that will serve in encouraging students, faculty, and staff. I plan to bring great and positive energy to the department each day that I intern.
