Introduction: Hi! My name is Kylie, and I'm from Alpharetta, GA. I am currently a Biological Sciences major, and I hope to go to medical school after graduation. In my free time, I love going to the lake, watching movies, hiking, and going to sporting events!
Ask me about...: ways to get involved on campus, undergraduate research, EUREKA!, Clemson sports/central spirit, greek life, or anything else you want to know about!
Why I chose Clemson and the Honors College: I have always loved Clemson! Both my parents came to Clemson, and I grew up coming to the football games here each weekend. Because of this, Clemson has always felt like home to me, and it was my dream school for as long as I can remember. I choose to join the Honors College because of all of the amazing opportunities offered through it, especially with research, and for the community.
My involvement in the Honors College: I have been involved in several different programs within the Honors College. I participated in EUREKA! coming into my freshman year which was amazing because it allowed me to get involved in research before I got on campus, and I was able to continue this research once I got on campus. I also was a mentee in the Peer Mentor program which I really enjoyed because my mentor helped make my college transition a lot smoother.
My involvement in Clemson University: At Clemson, I am involved in undergraduate research through the CI program, and I also serve as an ambassador for the Honors College. In addition to these, I am also a member of several clubs and organizations including greek life, central spirit, and the Catholic student association.
What makes me happy to be alive: An activity that makes me happy to be alive is going to the lake. I absolutely love going to the lake with my friends and paddle boarding across it for hours. I find it so much fun and think it is the perfect way to end a stressful week!
What did you do this summer?: This past summer I worked as a lifeguard and took a medical assistant certification course. I also had the opportunity to travel to Portland, Oregon for a conference to present my CI group's research.
