I am from Charlotte, North Carolina and I am a Marine Biology and Marine Affairs major. I am also involved in URI Shark Research, Surfrider Foundation Club, Sailing Club, and Outing Club.

I have had such a positive experience in all of my honors classes and I would love for more people to also have those same opportunities. I want to help make the honors program feel more like a community as well as promote the program to incoming students. I aspire to travel the world and complete marine conservation work when I graduate.
