I started NEO in the fall of 2007. I didn't know anyone when I arrived on campus but quickly made lots of friends by joining clubs. While I was a business major, one of my more impactful instructors was Mr. Webster for Comp I & II. I give him a lot of credit for my writing career. Of course, I had lots of good instructors that helped shape my knowledge and enabled me to acquire good skills. My favorite memories of NEO are from the clubs I was in. I especially enjoyed whenever we got to eat a free lunch during a club meeting or travel someplace cool. I was an officer in Phi Theta Kappa and College Republicans. Additionally, I was active in the BCM, and History and Business clubs. A couple of my more memorable experiences include traveling to Philadelphia with PTK for the 2008 National Conference and visiting Glorietta, New Mexico, for a week in the summers of 2008 and 2009 with the BCM. I graduated with my associates in 2009 and completed my bachelor's degree at NSU in 2011.
