These incredible people are #MyTopDawg(s). Each one of them has inspired me to be a better person, and they are truly some of the most remarkable people I’ve ever met. Thanks for always being in my corner and for letting me call you my pals. Can’t wait to see where life takes y’all so I can tag along for the ride. ☺️ߒڰߐ¶ #HugASenior #whenu

#TrackMomTuesday There is not enough appreciation or love that I could ever put forth for this lovely woman right here. From year 1 to year 5 at UGA, she has been my mother, my academic advisor, my encouragement, my inspiration, my #1 track and field fan, and everything in between. All your traveling, daily phone calls, and my limited home visits were worth it momma. I’m finally graduating from UGA and you and daddy made it all possible. I love you more than ever and will wipe away the tears as you are filled with pride and excitement to see your baby girl grow into the woman you have shaped her to be. I thank you and appreciate you more than you will ever know. We did it. ❤️ #MyTopDawg #UGA16
