Why did you choose Belmont?
I chose Belmont because it has been my dream school since sophomore year of high school. I fell in love with the campus, Nashville, and the music business program.
Any Role Models? Why?
My dad. He is my best friend, and I go to him to talk about everything. He always taught me to be kind to people, love life, and work hard at whatever you do. My mom is also amazing. She is the most patient soul in the world, and taught me that it is important to shut up every once in a while and listen. My sister is pretty great as well. She taught me to always stay sarcastic when need be. DANG. I guess you could say my family is okay.
What is your favorite spot at Belmont? In Nashville?
At Belmont: The futon in my dorm. I have a perfect view of Nashville’s skyline, and my roommate and I sit on our futon and talk about life, while staring dramatically out of the window.
