Occupation: Full time student of Special Education

Education: Graduated with a BA in Journalism

Future Goal: I aspire to be an influential educator to children with special needs.

Hobbies: I enjoy doing the puzzles in the daily newspaper, singing, learning about my ancestors and family history, rafting, line dancing to country music, rollerblading, and being around the people I love.

Biggest Hero: My younger brother, Zack. He was born with Cerebral Palsy and was told he would never be able to walk. He sure proved those doctors wrong. At 16, he is currently attending high school where he is the Assistant Coach of his Varsity Basketball team. I have never heard him complain about his condition, he accepts it and has done his best with it. He lives life with such optimism and I am inspired every day.

Best Meal: Thanksgiving dinner, hands down. I love honey-glazed ham, seasoned green beans, Mashed potatoes with gravy, buttered rolls, and my Mom’s special cheesy potato casserole. It is a good thing this meal is only made once a year!
