Fort Gratiot, MI
I grew up living with my parents and my younger sister, in the "thumb" of Michigan. I have a large extended family who I remain extremely close with. My immediate family, grandparents, cousins, and goddaughter are the most important people in my life. They encourage me and support me to strive for success.
As a student athlete, I played volleyball and soccer for high school and club teams. I balanced academics and athletics with high school choir, theatre, Key Club, and National Honor Society. Without the unconditional support of my parents and family, I wouldn't have been able to do this. I was extremely fortunate to be brought up in a home that valued balancing academics and extracurricular interests. I believe it is an admirable skill that I've continued to strive for and it has made me a well-rounded individual. Living close to Lake Huron, I grew an appreciation for the state of Michigan and its beautiful features. My favorite places are all found within the Great Lakes. I enjoy spending time outdoors hiking, exploring and sailing. I'm grateful to be a proud Michigander! |
