Please tell us a little bit about your family.
I love my family of four! My parents work in healthcare and have been married for 21 years. My brother plays lacrosse and is a rising freshman at North Gwinnett. We are very close and love being with our family and friends, traveling, going to church, watching movies, joking around and following UNC basketball. When my family’s not supporting me during cheer season, you can find us on the lacrosse field!
What are your plans after graduation?
I’ll travel, spend time with my family and friends, and then I’ll be attending Georgia Southern to pursue a nursing degree.
What are two of your favorite restaurants in our community?
Chipotle and Flaming Iron
If you could travel anywhere in the world right now, where would it be and why?
I would love to go to Mykonos, Greece. I am obsessed with all the photos I’ve seen of how incredibly beautiful it is. I can only imagine what it would be like in person….the beaches, sunsets, weather, architecture, food, windmills….
What is one of your favorite movies? TV shows?
Mamma Mia! and The Vampire Diaries
If you were asked to give advice to your senior class and the younger students at your school, what would you say?
Don’t wish your time away! Sometimes we try to hurry things along just to get to the next big thing and we don’t allow ourselves to be happy in the moment. Time already goes by fast enough.
If you were able to be cast as yourself into a television show or series, what show would you want to be in?
Full House
If you could choose anyone to have lunch with, who would you choose? Why? And where, locally, would you meet for this lunch?
I would have lunch with my grandma who passed away 7 years ago. I miss her so much! We would eat at Ippolito’s because she loved Italian food.
What is your favorite thing about our community?
I think the people are the best thing about our community. They’re friendly and welcoming, and whenever there’s a need, they’re always willing to help.
Where do you see yourself in 5 to 10 years?
Working as a travel nurse!

I’d love to travel throughout Europe with my favorite people.
