Every day is what you make it.

Fishing on the weekends with my dad and brother is number one on my list of favorite outdoor activities whether or not we are catching.
Each summer, my family and friends travel to Ouachita National Forest for a week long primitive camping trip. The agenda includes, but is not limited to: kayak fishing, hiking, and trail riding. The best part is the lack of cellular service.
My family has supported my academic and professional decisions throughout numerous challenges, and for that I am immeasurably grateful. I cannot thank them enough for standing by me and helping me overcome every obstacle. I do not believe this journey would have played out so far without their unwavering presence and reassurance.
