What do you love most about VCU?
I love VCU for its diversity and acceptance of all! RVA as a whole really provides a melting pot atmosphere that inspires creativity throughout the streets.
What inspires you?
People inspire me. We are so different, yet so much the same…I’m inspired by our creative expressions, through all means whether it be painting, fashion, story-telling, musical expression…I’m inspired by people’s vulnerabilities shown to others in beautiful ways.

What are your goals for after you graduate?
After I graduate, I want to continue to pursue makeup artistry and further my education in cosmetology. I also want to move somewhere near a beach. It is a goal of mine to go to graduate school for Social Work and become an L.C.S.W. to help others on both the micro and macro level. I want to travel and be involved in International Peacemaking and Holistic Studies at some point, too. It would be a huge goal of mine to live in Asia for some time and study Buddhism.
