ATHENS + UGA:

Describe Athens in five words or less: Too much fun!! GO DAWGS!

Restaurants and bars: East West, Harry Bissett’s and Gus’s

Shops: McColly’s of course, I worked there!

Gameday ritual/plan: My grandparents all UGA graduates and die-hards, would tailgate inside the Georgia Center. They and their group of friends always had the same rooms on the 4th floor. They would set up their spread down the hall and all their doors were open to one another. It was one big civilized indoor tailgate.

People, power walks, calling old friends for a catch-up, sand between her toes, and ideas— no matter how scary they may be. Calling Columbus, GA home but born and raised in South Mississippi, she love places and people that feel like home and believes there’s nothing sweeter than making other people feel the same way.
