ASL Student Profile: Kenyatta Thorpe

Kenyatta Thorpe is an energetic third-year student with a bevy of accomplishments already under her belt.  Before coming to ASL, the Fitzgerald, Georgia, native excelled in track and field, even competing in the 2008 Beijing Olympics while attending college.  However, Kenyatta decided that graduating college and Olympic glory were not enough; she decided that she wanted to pursue her Juris Doctorate degree.

The small town girl has big dreams of returning to her hometown and serving her community as a prosecutor. “There are a lot of people with drug problems in my town. I want to be able to do something about it,” says Kenyatta.

In the meanwhile, she participates in and leads many organizations on campus, including BLSA, Barbri, and CASA. She also works as a Counselor in the ASL Admissions Office. However, Kenyatta somehow manages to find time for coaching the cheerleading and track teams at Mountain Mission School, baking, crocheting, and spending time with her husband, Anthony.
