What are your interests and hobbies?
Photography (duh), Videography, crafts, DIY, thrifting, camping, hiking, road tripping, art, food
What are you involved in/off-campus?
Navigators (bible study/Christan group), work studies at Cottage Cove which is a non-profit after school care for elementary-middle school kids
Why did you choose Belmont?
I found a girl on Instagram who did design and photography, saw she went to Belmont, signed up for Preview Day, and fell in love. Didn’t apply anywhere else (now realize how crazy that kinda was).
Any Role Models? Why?
Jesus because he is so loving and caring. Mr. Kate, an interior designer on youtube, because she’s really funny, quirky, and creative. Also, Sawyer Hartman, a vlogger on youtube, because he travels and videos the simple things in life (plant, water, earth). All very positive people. Oh, and my 2D color teacher Michelle Corvette – sweetest human being and has a true passion for her work.
What is your favorite spot at Belmont? In Nashville?
Art building. Library. anywhere outside on campus. Downtown Historic Franklin, Natchez Trace Bridge, Percy Priest Lake, Warner Park, Arcade (downtown has little shops and food – maggies cafe has the best chicken tenders), Mikes Ice Cream (downtown), Oscar’s Taco Shop ($1 churros, so good), farmers market…the list is endless
Fun fact about me:
from Nashville, born and raised on a farm (horses). Went to high school at Hume-Fogg which is the castle building right in the middle of Broadway.
What is your favorite thing about HC? It’s fun, relatable, and actually has good advice (because there are other websites, youtube videos, and other platforms in general that give advice, but aren’t really useful or probable).
Favorite Quote?
and so the adventure begins… “Many people are alive but don’t touch the miracle of being alive.” – Thich Nhat Hanh (a monk) “You are worth more than many sparrows” – Matthew 10:31
Favorite Food?
pizza. more specifically pepperoni with cheese stuffed crust
Favorite Movie
So many, but one fav is My Girl.
Favorite Song?
sooo many Shiver Shiver or Work This Body by Walk the Moon (anything by them)
What’s something you wish more people knew about you?
