Goals and interests

Career goal

Unsure - would like to be a business owner, historian or musician. I enjoy learning and teaching people about the outdoors and old Appalachian medicine and history of the SE area of the United States. I also love the history of our constitution. My biggest love, though, is playing old style bluegrass and folk music on the banjo, guitar, dobro, fiddle or lap harp.

Graduate school interests

If I went to grad school it would probably be for constitutional law.

Outside the classroom

Hiking, camping, studying holistic cures, banjo, guitar, piano, fiddle, harmonica, whitewater kayaking
