In the ninth grade, I entered the Glynn Academy choir room. I was in a new school, in a town I’d only lived in for a year, and I didn’t know anyone. Although I didn’t know it then, that classroom and the teacher who ran it would take my interest in music and cultivate a passion that would carry me through the rest of my life. Although I have been singing for 12 years and writing music for 10, I had never considered pursuing music as a potential career option. With the support of my peers and professors, I am now pursuing a double major in music and neuroscience. I am also the Recording Manager of Barksdale Treble Chorus, a gender-inclusive treble chorus and one of the most welcoming groups I’ve found on campus. And I am currently recording and producing an album of original songs, which will be released in the Spring ’24 semester.
