Graduated from Flagler College in 2006.

Why did you choose to attend Flagler?

I visited Flagler College with my family during the summer in between my junior and senior year of high school. The minute I set foot on campus for my tour, I knew Flagler was the place for me. I loved the smaller campus and the proximity to the beach. I felt at home on Flagler’s campus. After I graduated in 2006, I moved away to Richmond, VA for a year and knew I needed to figure out a way to make St. Augustine my permanent home. I began working for Flagler College in 2007 and I am so lucky to call both Flagler College and St. Augustine my home.
