A different kind of schoolwork.
In Baylor’s organic garden, I’ve helped grow produce for the dining hall and for donations to communities in Chattanooga. It’s also where my sustainability research began.

Finding my place at Baylor.
Where my days happen.
The chapel, the halls, the garden—these are the places that have become familiar since I arrived in tenth grade.
I arrived in tenth grade. These days, Baylor is where I live, garden, spend time with friends, and head back to the dorm at the end of the day.
Helping the dorm settle in.
My peers elected me dorm prefect. I helped welcome boarding students, organize dorm activities, and support our residential community.
One reader at a time.
I volunteer at Carver Community Center 4 afternoons a week, working individually with a seven-year-old student on reading and literacy skills.

A gardener on the football field.
Most of my close friends played football. I became curious about it for a season and joined because I wanted to try something I knew I wouldn’t be good at immediately. I played offensive and defensive line, learning assignments and how to do my part alongside my teammates.
I was a member of Baylor’s Tennessee Division II-AAA State Championship team. Gardening is still a bigger part of my life, but I’m glad I gave football a try.
Curious about football for a season.
One season on Baylor’s offensive and defensive line, with the Fall 2025 state championship team.
