My future at
The University of Florida
This fall, I will be heading to Gainesville to attend the University of Florida, where I have been accepted into the Gator Design & Construction program. I plan to major in Urban Development with a focus on Sustainability and the Built Environment — combining my interest in design, innovation, and creating spaces that make a lasting impact.I will also be living at the Cooperative Living Organization (CLO), a unique student-run housing community where members share responsibilities, build strong connections, and keep living costs more affordable — an amazing opportunity as I am determined to work hard and graduate with as little debt as possible.Of course, music isn’t going anywhere. I am excited to continue drumming and plan to audition for UF’s Gator Band, concert bands, and other musical opportunities on campus. I am looking forward to everything this next chapter will bring — new challenges, new experiences, and the chance to continue growing along the way.

Gift Registry
While gifts are absolutely not expected, a few people have asked how they can support me as I head into this swaggy next chapter.If you’d like, you can choose a gift from my Amazon Wish List or send a monetary gift to support my college journey using one of the options below. I will be living off campus and plan to work while in school, with the goal of graduating debt-free (and ideally not surviving on ramen and coffee alone).Your support will go toward the real-life essentials — a place to live, dorm essentials, school supplies, and yes… the occasional late-night Taco Bell run.More than anything, it means a lot to know I have a strong circle behind me as I take this next step
