Symone James (she/her/hers)

What are your areas of interest in graduate life?

I am interested in student well-being and health. I am big on self-care and finding new hobbies that can be meditative and peaceful.

Are you involved in any other campus organizations/Groups?

I am involved in Mu Tau Beta & Charlotte Christian Students.

What is your favorite thing to do in Charlotte?

I am still getting used to Charlotte and learning my favorite spots. I love trying new foods in Charlotte! I love Harriet’s at Optimist Hall. I’ve been exploring other food options and getting to know the city. My other hobbies include writing poetry (doing spoken word), crocheting, exploring the city, and spending time in nature.

Where were you before moving to Charlotte?

I moved to Clayton, NC, before moving to Charlotte for graduate school. I was born in North Carolina but often traveled due to parents who served in the military.
