HCR: What drew you to Rhodes College?
RA: I really don’t know! It was my cheapest option, I love the small campus aspect, and I was also really excited to live in the city of Memphis!
HCR: What are your favorite things to do in Memphis?
RA: I enjoy weekly walks down South Main with my roommate, I like to try the various coffee shops, and I enjoy checking out the new exhibits at the Brooks Museum. There’s also some top notch thrift stores here.
HCR: How do you like being a part of Rhodes Mastersingers?
RA: I love it! There is large age-range of people and it brings together a group of people from various stages of life. Everyone who is a member really enjoys music and I always find myself excited to go. There’s such talented people here that I am able to learn from and learn alongside.
HCR: Tell us more about your future radio show!
RA: Ooh! The Jazz Hour! We plan on playing a myriad of Jazz subgenres such as: big-band, modal, funk-jazz, jazz-blues, jazz-rap, classical, as well as jazz influenced pieces. Weekday and time are TBD.
HCR: What is your dream study abroad trip?
RA: Probably Spain or England! But China would be my top choice. I would definitely want to take classes wherever I go that are immersed in the area’s culture so I can reap the best ‘abroad’ experience.
HCR: If you could recommend any one song right now, what would it be?
RA: Montego Bae by Noname. Jazz-rap!
