El Paso, TX
Entering my third year of college, I look back over the past few years at how I've changed and grown. My love for music has become bigger than I ever could have imagined it to be. I've finally found an area of study that I have come to enjoy just as much as I enjoy making music. Anthropology has opened up a whole new world of thinking to me. The experiences I have had at Brown have been priceless and I would not trade them for anything. I am determined to succeed and nothing is going to get in my way.
