Hey y’all! My name is Libby Coker and I am a junior at North Carolina State University. I am originally from a small town on the North East corner of North Carolina called Camden. Although, I love the tight-knit rural town I grew up in for 18 years (which explains my use of “y’all"), I have fallen in love with the hustle and bustle of Raleigh! If I were to choose three adjectives to describe my personality I would pick passionate, bubbly, and empathetic.
I decided for my undergraduate studies that I wanted to major in Psychology along with a minor in Criminology. I am a part of the Honors Program here at State, which has immensely aided in providing me an abundance of educational opportunities and advancements. As for professional opportunities…Since early high school I have consistently been a Nanny, and have continued that with me into my time in college. I absolutely love it! It is so fulfilling and just truly enjoyable to me, and I do believe that it has allowed me to develop a good sense of the type of 'role model' I strive to be for the younger generation. Aside from that, I have had a single, short-lived experience with waitressing at a beach restaurant for a summer, and I can just say that it was such a fun experience!
I consider myself to be well-rounded outside of my educational environment. I am certainly a people-person as I love to be around my family, friends, and I seek to find new connections with others. As any other 20 year old girl, I love to shop and spend my time browsing through fashion, home decor, etc. Being located in Raleigh and near an abundance of retailers makes for a fun day, in my opinion! Aside from this, I also enjoy traveling. Whether it be a big trip, or something small for a day I find it so fascinating to see new sights and gain new experiences—this is something you cannot beat! One of my major goals post-grad is to explore all different locations and avenues of life. Although, the main path I am planning to work towards is to attend law school following my four years here at NC State, I am excited to see where it will take me!
