The Deep Cuts

This one is my summer go to!! A total fusion of some of my favorite genres and artists, I listen to this playlist when I’m having a beach day, laying out in the sun, or in need of a mental pick-me-up. These songs are joyful and fun, and I hope they make your day a little brighter!!

Three Favorite Albums

Stick Season by Noah Kahan

 Deadpan Love by Cautious Clay

Jaguar II by Victoria Monét

Favorite Concert Experience

I got to go see Remi Wolf at the House of Blues in Chicago, and it was the most fun, welcoming, incredible audience I’ve ever been a part of. Everyone was taking care of each other and looking out for one another. Not to mention how ridiculously mind-blowing Remi Wolf’s performance was. That concert really made me start to value a strong sense of community, and it's something I try to carry into every aspect of my life, including the concerts SCOPE produces!

Hobbies / Interests / Fun Facts / Campus Involvement

I love the outdoors, and try to get outside whenever I can! Alongside being SCOPE’s General Manager, I also participate in University of Iowa’s Sailing Club. Over this summer, I was lucky enough to be able to take an internship in southern Oregon, where I spent two months working in remote wilderness rebuilding trails. It was so incredible, and if anyone wants to know a little more about the flora and fauna of the Kalmiopsis Wilderness, I’m your girl! You can catch me working at Hancher Auditorium, grabbing chai from a local coffee shop, or studying in my favorite spot, Wild Bill’s Cafe in North Hall.
