Majors in Linguistics and Psychology

I am originally from London, England, and in my free time I am passionate about all things creative. I sing in a band on campus called SOLFISH; joined the Latin dance team, 'Sabrosura', in my freshman year; and work for an on-campus marketing and creative ad agency called Pitchstory Lab. My other joys at Duke involve the Duke Brazilian Jujitsu Club and the Baldwin Scholars family. I am not exactly sure what I want my life after college to look like but I am currently interested in pursuing marketing and entrepreneurship. A fun fact about me is that I have a twin brother!

Favorite Class: "Intermediate Poetry" with Joseph Donahue. In the class, we wrote poems each week and brought them to the class to read in a small group of about 12 people. By the end of the semester, we were bonded by our creative outputs and I felt like we made such a meaningful community in that class.
