For New Maroon Camp this year, I look forward to giving campers what my counselors gave me. I want to become a mentor, friend, and support system for upcoming freshman. For me, having counselors and friends to uplift me and encourage me during that first week of school is what made my first moments at Mississippi State so enjoyable.

I am so overjoyed and grateful that I get to experience New Maroon Camp as a counselor this year. I was a camper in 2019 and I am currently in the second semester of my freshman year.

I can’t wait to meet this year’s upcoming freshman, and I am so excited to help guide them through this transition in their lives!
