Tell us a little bit about yourself and your plans for college.

Music was my life, but a medical setback forced a detour. Now, after years of struggle and rediscovery, I'm back, ready to chart a new course.

I'm a lifelong learner, devouring everything from classics to sci-fi. Performing arts are in my blood, but my passion extends to visual arts and community service. For 15 years, I've brought music to those in need, from church congregations to hospice patients.

My journey hasn't been easy, but overcoming challenges has shaped me into a determined, well-rounded individual. With a previous degree and experience managing my business, I understand the demands of a rigorous program. I'm ready to dedicate myself fully. This is my second act, and I'm giving it my all. The future of my company depends on it.
