ABOUT Courtney
University of South Florida, Freshman
I love my college because…
I was born and raised in Tampa, and I love everything about it: the people, the scenery, and most of all, the weather. USF-wise, when I visited the campus I fell in love with it. One thing I realized about USF is how diverse it is. There are so many different cultures here at USF and USF supports them all. Being at USF, I have met people from all over the world. The best thing about USF is that they reward you for your good work.
I really hate when…
people don’t believe in themselves… Confidence is the key.
I major in…
Integrative Animal Biology, and I aspire to get into veterinary school and eventually become a veterinarian. I have had a strong connection and love for animals ever since I was a little girl, and I’m trying to take that passion and work with it. I want to wake up every morning and be excited to go to work and I believe being a veterinarian would accomplish that for me.
My hometown is awesome because
Tampa, Florida is actually where the college I attend is. I guess I just couldn’t get away because I love Tampa so much. One of my favorite things about Tampa has to be the weather; it is always sunny and beautiful. It’s basically summertime year-round. Tampa is within driving distance from some of the best beaches on Florida’s West Coast, which is where I spend most of my free time. I couldn’t imagine living anywhere else.
At school, you can find me…
in the Alpha Delta Pi sorority at USF. I have been singing and dancing for 16 years, and now I am the assistant director of Entertainment Revue, a performance group. I also teach girls ages 5-18 how to sing and dance, I model and act professionally, and I’m a member of the National College of Collegiate Scholars. Oh, and I’m a math tutor!
The coolest class I’ve taken so far is…
oddly enough, chemistry. I am definitely a math/science person. I hate English, and I am a terrible speller.
My ideal first date would be…
dinner anywhere, followed by a walk on the beach while the sun is setting.
If I had 24 hours left to live, I would…
This is hard but honestly I would want to spend it with my family preferably on the beach chilling, tanning, talking, reminiscing on old times.
If my high school self could talk to me now, she would say…
‘Wow you have changed and matured a lot in one year.’
I’m going to be Miss COED 2017 because…
I believe I embody all of the characteristics that you are looking for in Miss COED 2017. I am a hard-working, full-time college student working diligently towards my goal to get into vet school. I work 2 jobs, and on top of that, I also model and act when school permits me to because school comes first. Yet although I am hard-working, I am also outgoing and crazy, I love to have a fun time and go out and party with my friends. One of my favorite things to do is just go dancing with my girls. My motto is ‘work hard, play hard’ and that is exactly what I do.
