Student Spotlight

 

Hi! I’m Tasha! I’m a senior English major with a minor in Communication. I grew up in a small town called Utica, Ohio where I graduated from Utica High School in 2012. My family has always been amazingly supportive and has always encouraged me to pursue my dreams - even if that meant moving a state away from them! As an English major, I LOVE to read. I’m currently reading Charles Dickens’ David Copperfield in my spare time. I also enjoy running, doing yoga, baking, and spending time with my wonderful boyfriend, Daniel, and our cat, Catsby (named after The Great Gatsby, of course). I love UK, but I’m excited to graduate!

Four years ago, if you were to ask every person that I graduated high school with what college I was going to, they probably all would’ve have told you the University of Kentucky. It was widely known that I was the only UK fan surrounding by a bunch of Ohio State fanatics. My mom jokingly says my dad brainwashed me to like UK. And maybe she’s right, but I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. For me, coming to UK was a dream come true.
