What other inspiring qualities, achievements, or experiences about you would you like readers to know about?
I am also involved in a total of 12+ activities at my high school. (Clubs, sports, etc.)
What goals, dreams, or projects are you currently working toward right now?
I am working towards becoming a neonatal nurse practitioner, in the spring I am a part of my high school’s CNA program.
What could you talk about for hours, and why does it matter so much to you?
I have so much love for dance. I have been involved with it for my whole life and I have found so much joy in it from finding new challenges.
What is something you have learned about yourself as a leader or influencer in the past year?
I have learned that I am more outgoing than I previously thought. I used to say that I was more introverted and shy but as a leader I try my best to talk to and learn about everybody involved.
What is one of your favorite memories with the person who nominated you, or something about them that means a lot to you?
My mother nominated me, a special memory with her was when I was very young. I had always hated nap time but she made it special; she knew exactly how to get me to fall asleep and since then she has been my comfort person.
Tell us about the person who took your photo — how did you connect, and what was that experience like?
I had first heard of the Now and Then Sisters Photography from my aunt and uncle. They had taken their engagement and wedding photos and they had turned out so beautifully. Many of my older friends had taken part in their Wildflower experience so I decided to as well. I have loved getting to meet a new group of people and have so many options for my photos. They are both wonderful to work with and are so fun to be around.
How did you first hear about Inspiring Teens Magazine? Why does being part of Inspiring Teens Magazine matter to you?
I have seen it from being a Wildflower, many of my fellow wildflowers have been offered and it would mean so much to me to be a part of it as well.
How will earning a scholarship through Inspiring Teens Magazine help you?
My dream has been to go to the University of Illinois in Chicago. However, it is very expensive. I have applied to many scholarships to help me be able to attend the school and this scholarship would help me achieve my goals.
