If you could trade lives with one person for a day, who would you choose and why: "I'm a huge fan of mystery and the unknown, so I'd like to switch places with either the President of the United States (I need to visit Area 51) or the Pope (I'd love to see what was inside the Vatican Vaults)."

Advice for Freshmen: "Take advantage of everything that LSU has to offer, but remember that freshman grades can come back to bite you. In the fall, never pass up an offer to go on a road trip for an away football game, and in the spring, never pass up an offer for a crawfish boil."

Other Organizations: Former member of SG senate (chairman of committee on Student Auxiliaries and Services), Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity, academic tutor for the LSU Academic Center for Student Athletes, undergraduate researcher in the Galvez Lab in the Biology department
