Hobbies

I am passionate about visual art and music. I'm self-taught in acrylic and watercolor paint and spent several years learning to play bass under a musician local to my hometown of Fuquay-Varina, NC. I've been drawn towards biological sciences -specifically human anatomy and physiology- since childhood, I'm currently studying biology at UNCW and hopeful to become a Physician Assistant (PA) after graduation. I also enjoy reading and tending to my succulent garden.
