Beyond Covid:
When the pandemic first started, I felt like I wasn’t going to be able to experience the remainder of my junior year and into my senior year. It was hard and being cooped up in the house during lockdown was really tough. One thing that helped was getting out of the house and just going for a drive, it was enough to give me a sense of normalcy. In the end, I did learn to not take things for granted and to check up on my friends and family to see how everyone was holding up. COVID took a lot from my life but I try to focus on the good and keep my head up and move forward.
What is something a lot of people may not know about you?:
Most people don’t know that when I was about 1 1/2 - 2 years old, I had an imaginary friend that ended up being my papa, that had passed away just shy of a year before I was born. My mom found out by a picture that was underneath the glass bar top; i had climbed the stool and was looking at the pictures and pointed out my papa saying, “ mama mama this is my friend, the one I’ve been talking too”. People always say that he was my guardian angle and to this day I still 100% believe that.
Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
Hopefully, within the next 10 years I will be working in the forensic science field and will have some travel under my belt. Maybe even live In Europe!
What is your favorite High School memory and why?
Honestly, they’re are so many memories especially with friends and meeting new people throughout the years but I would say getting through high school with my best friend, kayla. She is someone who has always been there for me and vis versa. She’s an amazing person who I gladly call family.
Is there anyone who has made a big impact on your life and why?
My mom and dad have made such an important impact on my life. My mom has always supported me and pushed me to be the best version of myself even if I pushed back. She is my super hero. My dad has always given me the confidence to be who I want to be. I love them both so much.
