What do you like to do for fun?
I like exploring antique stores, baking, and gardening. I’ve more than likely been to all the antique stores in Birmingham.
What was your most meaningful service experience or extracurricular activity in college and why?
I enjoyed being a part of the symphonic band and gospel choir at BSC. Singing with other choirs in joint performances in the Birmingham community was the most meaningful experience to me.
