What’s your favorite location on campus that’s not on our tour? The Cellar - As a student, I worked here as a cook and waiter. Some of my fondest memories were attending Cellar Wednesdays with my teammates and friends on campus.
As a Richmonder, what’s your favorite restaurant in the city? Urban Hang Suite, a black-owned coffee shop in the city.
Where on campus do you feel most energized? As a former student-athlete at UR, I’m always excited to attend athletic events and support Spiders across all sports. While football was my sport during my time here, basketball has always been my favorite, so watching our men’s and women’s teams take the court is at the top of my list.
Favorite music genre? Hip Hop and R&B
If you could go back to college and major in a different subject, what would you pick? Rhetoric & Communication Studies
What advice would you give to students going through the college search process? Trust the process, you will find the right home for you.
