When I am not working at Cook Library, you can often find me with my violin in hand. Back home in Louisiana, I have been playing violin for various events such as Masses, weddings, and parties since I was eleven years old. I also teach private violin lessons because it combines my passion for teaching with my love of violin.

I entered USM as a Freshman attending with the full tuition Academic Excellence Scholarship, the Orchestra Service Award Scholarship, and an Honors College Scholar Award. I have since left the Honors College and the Symphony Orchestra to focus on other work and career opportunities but completed all their respective classes with A’s. I am still receiving the full tuition scholarship.
