Hello! I am a freshman at the College of William & Mary. I am planning to be a Marketing major with a minor in Environmental Science.

My passion is nature and animals, especially birds. I have had many small pets, including fish, hamsters, and a guinea pig. I also volunteered at a nature center for five years, where I took care of the reptiles and amphibians on display and educated visitors about wildlife. I am constantly reading about my favorite subjects online to learn more.

I enjoy listening to many different genres of music in my free time, writing short stories and poetry, and drawing and painting. I write a music column for the school magazine and am a member of the Student Organization for Animal Protection and the National Novel Writing Month Club.
