Why did you choose Hood?

I chose Hood because it gave me the option to continue playing basketball while in college. I also love Hood’s location, beautiful campus and small class sizes.

Tell us about a professor who has had an impact on your life at Hood.

Professor Atwood has probably had the most impact on my life at Hood. I have taken at least one course she teaches every year since I’ve been here. She is now my adviser and has advised me to take meaningful courses that will ensure I graduate on time. Professor Atwood is very good at what she does.

What has been your favorite class and why?

My favorite classes have been Visual Media Production I and II. I really like those courses because they give the student a lot of creative freedom when creating videos, but also structure to build important skills.

Why did you choose this internship?

I chose this internship because it is very close to Hood and it allows me to help the community I am currently in. I love helping people, and this internship allows me to do so while gaining valuable experience. Also, I was able to choose my hours.

What are your future career goals?

In the future, I would like to work on an NBA team’s public relations team, or be a communications director for a large company.
