What does it mean to you to be part of the Roadrunner Nation? It means to have pride in the place you have chosen to further your education and social skills.
What do you plan to do after graduation? I plan to work in the marketing department of either a news agency, a sports team, or a film production company.
Who is/was your favorite professor and why? My favorite professor is Jerry Drye. When I arrived in Dalton on a quest to finally go back to school, I was clueless as to how to get the process going. I worked at a restaurant during the summer of 2014 when I met Professor Drye. He sat at my table and quickly noticed my effective way of speaking. After learning that I was trying to restart my education, he gladly gave me all the information I needed to enroll in Dalton State. He soon became my advisor, and has continued to give me valuable information for my future.
What are some of your biggest achievements or accomplishments at Dalton State? I was afraid that being out of school for 10 years would prevent me from succeeding at Dalton State. However, I have maintained an overall GPA of 3.93, a fact that has made me proud.
