How would people describe you as a person?

I think that I always strive to be good at what I’m doing.

What do you do outside of school for fun? Why?

I mostly do photography because it’s something I’m really passionate about and that I’d like to pursue as a career.

What Career would you like to pursue? Why?

I’d like to either be a photographer or a journalist. I’m good at writing and photography has always been a big interest of mine since I was young and then I think the interest got bigger once I got into freshman year and took the digital media class.

When people get to know you, what are they most surprised to learn about you? 

Probably that I’m not actually always quiet and shy.

What’s on your phone background? Tell us why you chose that. 

My boyfriend and I at a concert because it’s the only good picture we really have together.

Tell us the story about what you are most proud of yourself for.

I think I’m most proud of myself for going out of my comfort zone and going on a school trip to Paris and London. I never thought I would go with a random group of people from school to go across the world.

Who is someone you are thankful for and why? 

I’m thankful for my boyfriend because he came to me when I was in a really tough spot and he made me think about what I want for the future.

What advice would you give to others? 

Try new things, go out of your comfort zone. We’re in high school, we won’t be here forever so it’s important to try new things.

What do you hope to be remembered for? 

I wanna be remembered for being there for people and staying true to the people I care about.

What’s on your bucket list? 

I want to go to Italy one day.
