Career goal: My goal is to study physics and astronomy in college and pursue a career in the space industry through aerospace engineering or as an astrophysicist. I also intend to continue my studies in the flute to perform occasionally in small ensembles and to give lessons.
Tell us about the teacher, coach or administrator who made a difference in your life: Dr. Thomas Dempster, my wind ensemble director, not only helped me find my passion in the flute again after so many years of remaining in the same level of progression, but his ability to treat us with respect made me proud to succeed in both my music and academics.
