Favorite Mu Phi Memory: My favorite memories were all unplanned and heart to heart talks after meetings. Many of us would be busy as we prepped for the Monday ahead, but I cherished the Sunday night post-meeting discussions with my sisters. Sometimes, they were exactly what I needed to help me keep practicing or studying.
Future Plans: I'm thrilled to begin my educational career as Seguin High School's Assistant Choir Director in Arlington ISD. This exciting opportunity to return to my home district would not be possible without the loving support from my Baylor and my Mu Phi family!

Favorite Mu Phi Memory: My favorite Mu Phi memory cannot be narrowed down to just one. As a whole experience, the best times were had in circle up in Spring of 2013. We all grew as people and especially as an organization that semester. We were confused, scared, and emotional, but it turned out to be the most successful semester I experienced! I will miss it so much!
Future Plans: Two weeks after graduation, I will be MARRIED to the love of my life! I have been so blessed with Austin and I'm beyond excited to spend every day with him! As for my future career, I am looking for theatre and arts jobs in Dallas. I am hopeful that God will open doors for me and lead me where I should be.
