Why I chose my major

I chose Human Development and Family Science because I’m passionate about understanding people and relationships. It gives me the tools to support mental and emotional well-being, especially in rural communities like the one I grew up in, and prepares me for a future in counseling.

What I like most about FACS

What I like most about FACS is how it combines science and compassion. It’s a hands-on, people-centered program that allows me to learn how to make real, lasting impacts—especially in communities that need it most.

Post-graduation plans

I am getting my master's degree in mental health counseling at the University of West Georgia beginning in the fall. I am looking forward to serving my community and bridging the mental health care disparities that rural Georgia faces.
