Abram High School, and I also attend Foster Tech in their Business and Finance program, also dual enrollment with Thomas College along with Honors Chemistry. I'm a member of the National Honor Society, National Scholar Athletes, and received my Microsoft Office Specialist Certification. I am currently playing varsity basketball. I am a varsity athlete and hold titles in a variety of in and out of
school sports, including soccer, track which I hold a school record in long jump, former World Champion in jiu-jitsu, and State and Regional Gymnastics Champion. Going into 2024, I have grown a huge passion for educating myself about cultural fashion, self-love, and care. I love to volunteer and get involved in my community and hope to inspire the community around me to become better as a whole. My dream is to explore the world! I just want to let everyone realize their potential for a wonderful life. First job: I currently am still working at my first job as a waitress at "Bear Belly's"! It is a new restaurant in my hometown. I absolutely love my job because I love to talk, and I love the interactions I get to have. Getting to meet a variety of different people from my community and people who are just visiting the area makes my first job very special. My family owns a farm, and we all have duties. It's more of a way of life than a job, i also teach basic sustainable farming to young kids. Favorite experience as a model: Walking in New York Fashion Week has been my favorite experience by far. Coming from a small town going into one of the busiest cities in the world really opened my eyes. From the moment I stepped onto the runway, I knew this moment was special and a feeling Iโd never forget. Dream project: "Wonderkids" will always be a passion of mine. Since I was a baby, I have always gone to Wonderland, which is a very special place in my town which every little girl and boy feels so special when they are there. Coming from an area where people really have to work for what they have Iโve always wanted to help. Wonderkids is a special project where I have donated and given out thousands of stuffed animals and articles of clothing. During covid every week, I would spend hours working on craft kits and give them out to the community, so everyone had something to do while our community was struggling. Favorite Moto:" What's meant to be will always find a way." 2023 has been my biggest year of change. This year has pushed me to grow so much as a person and become stronger as an individual. Best advice: To forgive, forgiveness is something people struggle with, but to forgive will help you move on as a person and focus on what matters the most to you as a person. My sisters motivate me every day, they never fail to remind me how special my heart is. Even on my worst days, I remind myself how special my sisters tell me I am. They motivate me every day to become the person I know Iโm meant to be.
