As an Oregon native, an appreciation for fresh and organic ingredients has long been ingrained into my palette. Growing up drawing pictures of our family vegetable garden lead me to really see the beauty in fresh food and the creativity that comes along with cooking. That creative spark eventually opened my eyes to the world of art and music as well. The SOJC has lead me to aspire to break into the music industry after graduation through a career in music publicity. At the brink of uncertainty I will continue to listen, write, and cook until I find myself where I want to be.
