About
I am a student that has been active in both athletics and academics. I am a straight-A student that has worked tirelessly to stay in that threshold while juggling the responsibilities of being Football Team Captain, and Track Sprinter of the Year, and being a key member in multiple club groups. I would like to continue my education at the University of Kentucky and major in architecture with possible certificates in historical preservation and business. I strive to get a Master's in Architecture and eventually have a firm of my own.
