About
I am an upcoming freshman in the Bridge Program at Tri County Technical School with hopes of being at Clemson University next year. Travel is my biggest interest and I am willing to take any and every opportunity to see new places and experiences new cultures and customs. Language especially intrigues me; I plan to further my knowledge in Spanish and hopefully I will have time to learn French, Sign Language, German, Mandarin, and many other languages that cross my path.

Goals and interests
- Career goal
Like so many others, I am still trying to figure out exactly what I want to do. I know that, as I previously stated, I want to travel a lot and I would love to find a job where I am able interact with natives regularly.
- Graduate school interests
I would love to attend grad school and further my studies in Language and Trade and hopefully spend some more time studying abroad because I believe Language is learned best through actual experiences and interactions with people of the native tongue.
- Outside the classroom
I am involved in many sports including soccer, Tae Kwon Do, softball, basketball, and swimming, but my favorite is tennis. I also play piano and am involved in choir. I love being outside and doing things like hiking, kayaking, and camping. I also really enjoy reading and writing.
