Interests

My hobbies and interests are singing and community activism. Singing is my greatest passion. I became a member of Choral Arts Links, MET Singers, a Metro Nashville Public Schools’ honor choir. Community activism is also an integral part of my life. As a teenager I was given the opportunity to work with the youth as a mentor and counselor, that experience has been embedded in my life ever since I first received an opportunity to uplift my community.
