Fun Fact
In the Fall of 2002, I tried out for American Idol in Austin, Texas. I was a freshman in college, and I took the week off school to drive down for the auditions. I did not make it far in the auditioning process, but I had an amazing experience, and I learned a lot about myself in the process.
Passion
I believe in justice for EVERYONE! I will fight to my last breath to ensure ALL people, regardless of gender, racial identity, sexual preference, or any other critical identifier, are allowed to live and be free to exist with basic human dignity and the God-given rights we are all blessed with.
