Anything special you'd like to tell us about you?
I’m going to grow up and become a neurologist. I want to study Alzheimer’s Disease and provide better treatment, care and understanding of the disease itself. I’m highly active I played highschool women’s lacrosse for four years and won the championship twice. I also played D1 lacrosse at WVU for one year but decided I wanted to focus on my studies more. Even after retiring from sports I still go to the gym 6 days a week and enjoy weightlifting, running, kayaking, hiking and cycling.

What is the one change you wish to see in the world?
Homelessness. I hate driving and seeing people with cardboard signs asking for anything because anything helps. It’s not fair how some people struggle more in this world than others when there is so much good that this world can offer.

It loves everyone around me and myself and it is the best thing about me.
