Biography

Brief history about myself:
I graduated in December 2011 from the University of Kansas with a Bachelors in General Studies through the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Also received a minor through the School of Business.

While a student at KU, I devoted my spare time to student groups and volunteer work throughout the university community, City of Lawrence and the State of Kansas.

Summer 2012:
Completed an 8-week session with an AmeriCorps Summer *VISTA program through Harvesters Community Food Network located in Topeka, KS. Also devoted time to Just Food in Lawrence, KS to ensure I was experiencing more than one side of hunger issues in this region of Kansas.

Fall 2013:
Currently seeking an opportunity to return to KU and specialize in Psychoacoustic Engineering through the study of Music and Neuropsychology. I hope to change the world's appreciation for music by understanding the neurological significance it holds on human life.

How I came to live in Lawrence

Nothing exists south of Lawrence. In Kansas, that is.
