Christine Wilson

Music education brought Christine Wilson, 19, of Fulton to Ole Miss, where she discovered the added bonus of leadership training through the Ole Miss Women’s Council.

“I don’t think there’s any place I would enjoy more,” said Wilson, a sophomore music major specializing in vocal performance. “I’ve gotten to meet so many interesting people. Women’s Council is opening my eyes and makes me want to make things better.”

After completing her degree, Wilson would like to move to the West Coast and open a studio to teach students voice skills and prepare them for auditions.

“There are so many kids who have the potential, but they don’t have anyone to work with them,” she said. “Maybe they’ll love it as much as I do, and they’ll wind up doing what I do.”

Wilson is minoring in theater arts and plans to pursue a career in both music and theater.

“I want to make people happy, and I think that’s why most people start performing. I want to keep that focus and keep performing because that’s what I love to do. I want to inspire other people to do it.”
