Class of 2025
Majors in Music and Public Policy Studies; Minor in Classical Civilizations

Welcome to Duke! I'm an undergraduate student from Kansas City, Kansas studying Public Policy, Music, and Classical Civilizations. I'm classically trained in the harp and am pursuing a concentration in harp performance. On campus, I am involved with the Duke Journal for Health Equity, Duke Student Collaborative on Health Policy (SCOHP), Duke Chamber Music, Duke Symphony Orchestra, Duke University Wind Symphony, Durham Medical Orchestra, and am a Blue Devil Buddies Mentor. This summer, I worked for South Arts as a policy intern for arts advocacy and arts policy in the Southern United States. In my free time, I love learning new music, reading, napping, and puzzles!

Favorite Class: My absolute favorite class at Duke was Arts Policy and Leadership with Professor Andrew Nurkin. It combined both of my majors together in a unique way and allowed me to explore policy in the creative sector!
