What advice or encouragement would you give to younger students at Westminster? Care about what you’re leaving behind… leave behind kindness and support, because even though you’re leaving soon, the legacy and impact you choose to leave behind are more meaningful than you think.

Please share a funny memory or highlight from your time at Westminster: My favorite WA memory was our final round of Mock Trial of 2024, when we went up agaisnt St Mary’s and basically threw out the rule book by having unreliable witnesses and just had a great time. 

Senior Thesis Title: The Psychology of Structure: Why Family Matters

Senior Thesis Statement: We should put family first and strive to understand ourselves and our family members in order to create mended and healthy familial relationships. 

Brief Description of Senior Thesis: I believe that our culture does not place enough emphasis on the importance of family. We throw away our familial relationships the same way we throw away a hurtful friendship or toxic relationship. But the truth is that God has intentionally woven our families together, and we should seek to learn more about our own psychology and the psychology of our families in order to mend and maintain our relationships. 

Post Graduation Plans: To major in English literature at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga

Favorite Bible Verse: “Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil, cling to what is good.” (Romans 12:9)

Prayer Request: Please pray that I don’t lose sight of how much I need the Lord, even through hard transitions and new experiences. Pray that I would see Him in my relationships, classrooms, and every part of my life. Pray that I would find joy in hardship, patience in waiting, and love in conflict. And pray that I will go to the Lord for rest rather than looking to the world for peace.
