Mari-Todd Brown
For Mathiston, Mississippi native, Mari-Todd Brown, Mississippi State University has always been associated with childhood. Brown took her very first steps inside of Humphrey Coliseum and is now taking advantage of every opportunity to work with kids in her human development and family sciences major. She says of tackling this educational track, "My love for school was reborn," and one day, she hopes to open her own pediatric occupational therapy clinic.
