My name is Amber Cannon and I have been a weekly writer for The Odyssey for about three months. I also spend a good bit of my free time on the internet reading articles from various sites. I am a proud member of Kappa Kappa Gamma and an elected member of Kappa's Standards Committee. I rushed in the fall of my freshman year and joined our 2013 fall pledge class. Kappa has become my world and, as cliche as it sounds, I have absolutely no idea what I would do without the help of my sisters and our wonderful organization.
Not only am I extremely passionate about my sorority, I am also passionate about my college. I also have an on-campus job working for Georgia Southern's Office of Admissions as a night time telecounselor. I call people interested in Georgia Southern and help recruit them to the campus.
I am a sophomore and plan to major in dietetics and nutrition. After graduation, I plan to complete a year-long dietetic internship to become a registered clinical dietitian. Medicine is my main interest in life because I am a type one diabetic. My goal is to work in a hospital, helping patients with various illnesses, but primarily children newly diagnosed with diabetes. I want to help with research and lifestyle changes to assist those patients in managing their health.
I enjoy my job as a writer for The Odyssey, and I encourage you to read things that will make you laugh, smile, or think. Georgia Southern has some incredible people working for The Odyssey, so browse through and I hope you enjoy reading!
Sincerely,
Amber Cannon
