She chose Middle Georgia State College because … ““I had an amazing opportunity presented to me through Circle of Friends Living Water Resource Center to attend the MGSC Prep Academy Program. I had been out school for nearly 6 years, so I was extremely hesitant about attending college. Choosing this college was easy for me because I had already experienced the Knight life. The professors are amazing, and the student body is fun and sociable.”
The one thing that surprised her about Middle Georgia State was … “Cochran has extremely friendly squirrels! I absolutely love nature, so I know Cochran is the place for me.”
Her favorite professor is … “I enjoy all of my professors, so it would be extremely challenging for me to just pick one.”
Her favorite place to study is … “The third floor in Roberts Library. It’s very tranquil there.”

Her friends make fun of her because … “I’m old school, I can never keep up with the new trends.”
The one person she’d most like to meet is … “Oprah Winfrey. I would love to speak with her about her personal challenges of pursuing her dream, and the business aspects of her maintaining her successful career.”
Five years from now she sees herself … “Working as a pediatric nurse abroad while working on my Ph.D.”
