I think Ouachita is amazing because:
The university succeeds at creating two things: an atmosphere that fosters close relationships among students and faculty members; and an environment that encourages social, academic, and spiritual learning. Ouachita's unique "bubble" gives every student the opportunity to grow in all areas of their life.

Hobbies/Interests: I love to take pictures, cook, read, hike, swim, and travel with my husband. And, now that I'm a mom, my newest hobby is playing with my sons!

Family: My husband and I live in Arkadelphia. We have two sons, Huck & Dax. No pets are in the family right now - two kids under 2 are all that we can handle!
