Schutt also carries a full academic load along with her coaching duties. Her schedule is filled with all sorts of courses from poetry to sculpture.

"I am on a way different path than most people at Harvard," Schutt says.

She enjoys that she can pursue many different things at Harvard, but from talking to her, one can tell that she wants more.

"I need for my life to have a balance. I cannot just do only one thing," Schutt says.

This year, along with assistant coaching, she is also writing her honors English thesis on improvisation and the poetry of Elizabeth Bishop.

She also performs gigs throughout Boston and Cambridge. She had one at Harvard this fall in Loker Commons, which she advertised in Lowell Lecture Hall at the beginning of Cornel West's Introduction to African-American Studies course.

Schutt stood up with guitar in hand, introduced herself, then her music. When she began Marvin Gaye's "Sexual Healing", Lowell erupted--everyone was cheering and dancing---including West, who was jamming along to Schutt's beat.
