How long have you worked with the County?

I am currently on my third week!

Where are you from originally?

I grew up in Lenoir County, North Carolina.

What are you most passionate about?

I am really passionate about music, listening to and creating it.

Do you have a hobby?

I play the guitar and have recently joined a band!

When you were little, what was your dream job?

I wanted to be a variety of things – a teacher, a book writer/illustrator, a filmmaker, and a video game developer.

What was the best part of your week/weekend?

I got to jam with my band, and we came up with some song ideas!

If your life was a song, what would the title be?

What’s your favorite TV Show?

There are so many shows I love, but I think Mr. Robot is the best one I have ever seen.

What’s the most interesting thing you’ve learned recently?

I recently learned about how engaging in instant gratification behaviors, such as scrolling on your phone, dramatically depletes your dopamine levels once you’re finished with that behavior. Thus, it makes you less motivated and energized to complete harder and more long-term goals.
