Sr. Program Coordinator, David M. Rubenstein Scholars Program and Duke LIFE
Hometown: Durham, North Carolina
Hobbies: I enjoy reading, writing and listening to poetry, attempting to cook, and binge-watching different TV shows. Additionally, I love spending time with my puppy, Thor.
Why Duke?
I love the different opportunities that Duke has to offer and the different support that is offered to different student groups and demographics. I believe that Duke promotes identity exploration and sense of belonging through the variety of student organizations on campus, and I am grateful to be a part of a university that is promoting these things!
Tell us a fun fact about you:
I am an Ordained Minister! I became one so that I could perform the ceremony for my sister and her partner. :)
