What inspiring things about you does your nomination not cover?
I strive to balance academics, service, and personal growth, always aiming to set a positive example for those around me. My genuine care for others motivates me to find innovative solutions to challenges in my community, fostering collaboration and positivity. By embracing leadership opportunities and pursuing my dreams with focus and determination, I hope to inspire others to believe in their potential and make meaningful contributions. I want my story to show that with hard work, kindness, and a clear vision, we can create a lasting impact and leave a legacy of hope and resilience.
What else would you like to talk about?
Helping my peers build self-confidence is a mission close to my heart. I know firsthand how challenging these years can be, and I want every girl to see her unique worth and potential. Through mentorship, volunteering, and leading by example, I aim to create safe spaces where girls can feel empowered to embrace who they are. Confidence is the foundation for success, and I believe that encouraging self-belief during these formative years can change lives. My goal is to inspire young women to face challenges with courage and believe they are capable of achieving greatness.
What do you feel passionate about or could talk about forever?
I have a passion for fashion and beauty because of the confidence it brings. I love helping others feel great about themselves, whether through styling, makeup, or just uplifting words. It’s something I could talk about endlessly because it’s so much more than appearances—it’s about empowerment and self-expression.
How did you find your photographer? What was your experience like? What did you love most?
My mom discovered my photographer on social media after we moved to Midland, TX during my sophomore year. She’s taken my photos several times, and her work is always incredible. She has a way of making me feel beautiful and confident with her kind and caring personality. What I admire most about her is her creativity—it truly shines through in every photo she takes.
Why do you want to be in Inspiring Teens Magazine?
To me, Inspiring Teen Magazine is a powerful platform for promoting confidence among teens. Many struggle with self-esteem due to the pressures of social media and negativity from peers. I’m grateful for the opportunity to use my words and photos in this magazine to inspire and uplift others. It’s a chance to remind teens of their worth and encourage them to embrace their unique qualities with confidence.
What is a favorite memory with or thoughts of the person who nominated you?
My mom, Amber Heiser, was the one who nominated me, which means so much because she’s one of my biggest inspirations. What I admire most about her is how effortlessly she inspires others through her kindness, strength, and support.
