Whom do you want to thank?

I would like to thank my parents for their unending support. My family has been behind me for longer than I remember and they are a true blessing to have had for me to rely on. My brothers for setting an example of how to get out in four years, no matter the program. My advisor Helen for showing me the ways to handle the stress of school and how to create your own college experience and explore the opportunities you have. The whole Horticulture department for their involvement in the students experience and their enthusiasm to teach us in the ways of the green world. My legs for always supporting me, my arms for always being by my side, and my fingers for something to always count on. Thank you to everyone I’ve met along the way with each their own special puzzle piece to my final image.

What is the best thing about studying horticulture at NC State?

The variety in classes provided and freedom of choice between them. The hands on experience of classes where you are able to see what you talk about in classes and apply it yourself. The department for being such a kind and caring group of people, and the people you meet and stay with throughout your school career.
