What kind(s) of music do you enjoy best? Any favorite performers or favorite songs? And why do you like them?
“I enjoy any music that makes me feel good and slows down this hectic world we live in. Reggae is one of my favorite genres because of how simply it gets a message across. It almost always involves positive and uplifting messages, which can brighten anyone’s day. My favorite band outside of Reggae is The Dave Matthews Band. I have been a long time follower, fan, and supporter of him and his endeavors.”

What is the most fun thing you have ever done?
“I know it’s not a single experience, but I am a HUGE fan of traveling and seeing the world. Every time I visit a new country, I can’t help but have the time of my life. Learning foreign languages, cultures, and routines is something that will never seem dull to me. Some of my favorite countries I’ve been to are Spain, China, Italy, England, Mexico, Aruba, and Hong Kong.”

How would you describe yourself to someone who does not know you?
“My friends and family would first and foremost describe me as a loyal and caring person. I regularly go out of my way to make sure those that are close to me know how much I value their impact on my own life. Additionally, I feel like my charismatic attitude makes anyone in my presence feel comfortable regardless of how close they are to me. I hold other people’s feelings as high as I hold my own, and I believe this is why I am surrounded with such amazing individuals.”

What do you consider your greatest accomplishment so far?
“I’d have to say my greatest accomplishment is being able to perform in St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican during Holy Week. Knowing the importance and significance of that location the day after Easter, I felt beyond honored to be apart of their celebration.”
