Favorite Thing About Whitworth: The people here are loving, caring, unafraid to ask or address difficult questions, aware of their faults and always learning. It's the combination of embracing the messiness of different people and opinions while fostering growth and unity that amazes me about the culture here.  

Free-for-All: I'm a musician and singer. Music has been a constant in my life, from classical piano lessons starting at five years old to band and choir in high school and leading worship in college. Now, once in a while I'll perform at an open mic, and I might record some music someday.
