What brought you to the graduate program at South Alabama?
"I decided to get a master's degree and then try for my Ph.D. because of professors like Dr. McDonald and Dr. Benton who really got me interested in research. Because of that, it only made sense to stay at USA. That's also the main thing I like about the SoC, how great and approachable a lot of the faculty is. I wouldn't be here if that wasn't the case."
