What do you hope to accomplish within the next year? Within the next year, I hope to get my license for my master’s degree and move up into a higher position.

Who is your hero and why? My Hero is my Nana. She raised me from a little girl, and she has been my rock, my everything. My Nana has always been there for me, even when I probably didn’t deserve it.

If you could choose to do anything for a day, what would it be? A day of wellness in a cabin in the woods where no one could reach me.

What is the best piece of advice someone has given you? Choose yourself and set boundaries. It is not selfish, it’s healthy and it’s okay to say “no!”
