In his words:
I guess, at heart, I'm an artist. I have lots of interest
in science and I've completed all of my pre-med requirements,
but before I can even think about med school, I have to explore
some of my other interests. I guess I do a little of everything.
I've studied visual arts, drawing, painting, sculpting, origami,
print making, and photography; and performing arts like tap
dancing, theater, TV, and film.
Of all of these, though, I get the most satisfaction from tap
dancing. When I got to Duke, I helped to start ON TAP as a place
for Duke's tap dancers to work together to create original works
that we could perform. That's what I really love about tap:
performing and sharing myself with the audience. After Duke
I'm planning to head to New York to see how far I can go with
it. I'm going to audition for shows and work to expand my skills
as a tap dancer. And, if all goes well, you'll see me on Broadway.
