Sallie is a third year from Williamsburg VA, and embraces everyone around her with fun loving energy and a beautiful soprano voice that you just can't help but smile at.

​​

"The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit." Psalm 34:18

Our favorite member from Aldie, VA, it's Kaelyn! Not only is she one of the sweetest humans alive, but she's also a triple threat (acting, singing, and ballet!) and a double major in English and Biology on the pre vet track (she's actually a quintuple threat??). Kaelyn takes on everything she does with confidence, grace, and humility, and we hope you're as excited to see her as we are!

​

Nathanael is from Midlothian VA, and there's just so much about him that needs to be shared.

This intended business/real estate major really is a *peake* human being!

​
