Graduation and Great Ideas

Leaving Tuscaloosa is bittersweet, but I am overjoyed to be starting this new chapter of my life as both an Alabama graduate, and as a member of the Ramsey Family. With graduation behind me, it is time to kick my Great Ideas Tour (GIT) planning into drive! The Great Ideas Tour is a part of the John Fraser Ramsey Premier Award at the University of Alabama. The award honors John Fraser Ramsey, a history professor at the University of Alabama who dedicated his life to the university and the students.  GIT is “the opportunity to travel Europe and discover [your] own sense of possibility and responsibility within a global humanity.”

My journey begins January 7, 2019 when I board my flight to London, England. With one backpack, a journal, and camera in tow I hope to continue the legacy of Dr. Ramsey by embracing his joie de vivre!

Please check in for updates, photos, and news of my tour. I am very grateful for this opportunity and look forward to sharing this journey with all of you!
