A fun Rice fact about me is that during my time, I, alongside classmates, started a brand-new a cappella group, Fresh. This group specialized in singing R&B, hip-hop and pop songs that were underrepresented and underexposed at Rice University at the time. We lasted for 3 years and put on 2 formal concerts each year.
