Please tell us a little bit about your family.
My family has been in Suwanee, GA since before I was born! My parents moved to Moore Road in 2000 and we love this tight-knit community that has become our home, our support, and cherished lifelong friends. I am blessed to be part of a loving family of five: my mom, dad, older brother, younger sister, and I love spending time together over meals, a competitive board game, or long days on the beach in Hilton Head, SC. Volunteering is also a huge part of our family traditions. Together, we volunteer weekly at Gwinnett Church in the preschool ministry with three-year olds. We also meet many wonderful families as we volunteer to manage the Rivermoore Park Riptide Swim Team. I love my family and we enjoy serving others together.
What are your plans after graduation?
After graduation, I plan to attend The University of Georgia as part of the Morehead Honors College. I plan to double major in business marketing and advertising with a minor in studio art or Spanish.
What are two of your favorite restaurants in our community?
YourPie and Craft Burger
If you could travel anywhere in the world right now, where would it be and why?
If I could travel anywhere in the world right now, I would go to Europe to study art. I have been very involved in the Art program at North Gwinnett High School and was blessed to be selected to attend the Georgia Governor's Honors Program last year as an Art Major. I would love to study in Italy or Spain where I can learn in some of same spaces as art history's greatest minds.
What is one of your favorite movies? TV shows?
Little Women
If you were asked to give advice to your senior class and the younger students at your school, what would you say?
Maya Angelou once said, "I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back."
Senior year is definitely a time of "catching". You are constantly asking for recommendation letters, receiving honors, and being showered with graduation gifts. But it's important to take the time to throw something back to the people around you. They have poured so much time and effort into you and this is your last chance to pour into them. It's easy to get caught in the whirl of college planning and get tunnel vision, but try to avoid living in the future. It's exciting to think about the new friends you will meet in college, just don't forget about the friends you have now.
If you were able to be cast as yourself into a television show or series, what show would you want to be in?
Bake Squad
If you could choose anyone to have lunch with, who would you choose? Why? And where, locally, would you meet for this lunch?
Ryan Farmer because she is very genuine and a loyal friend. We love eating pesto pizza at YourPie in Suwanee.
What is your favorite thing about our community?
I love how connected Suwanee is; you always see someone you know!
Where do you see yourself in 5 to 10 years?
I see myself as a graduate student or working for a company in advertising or graphic design.
What is something on your bucket list?
