Q: If you could travel anywhere in the world right now, where would it be and why?
A: “I’ve always said I wanted to go to Australia! I love Australian accents, I could listen to an Australian talk for hours. I also think it would be super cool to go sailing along the Great Barrier Reef.”
Q: What is one of your favorite movies? TV shows?
A: “My favorite movie is ‘Space Jam’ hands down, who would have ever thought to put Michael Jordan and Bugs Bunny in a movie together? It’s brilliant! And my favorite TV show is probably FRIENDS, just because I love the
dynamic of the show. Watching how the characters interact sort of reminds me of my own friends.”
Q: If you were asked to give advice to your senior class and the younger students at your school, what would you say?
A: “Say hi to everyone in the fall even if you don’t really know them, tell someone you like their shoes if you do, if a teacher made an impact on you let them know…you never know what someone is going through and that one
comment could make their day!”
Q: If you were able to be cast as yourself into a television show or series, what show would you want to be in?
A: “I would want to be Meredith Grey from the TV series ‘Grey’s Anatomy.’ Meredith is caring, funny, and owns that she doesn’t really have life all figured out, and that’s okay. I love those qualities so I would cast myself as her.”
Q: If you could choose anyone to have lunch with, who would you choose? Why? And where, locally,
would you meet for this lunch?
A: “Demi Lovato.”
Q: What is your favorite thing about our community?
A: “I love how the community is so close knit. You always know somebody through someone else! Gainesville makes the world seem so big but also so small.”
Q: Where do you see yourself in five to 10 years?
A: “That’s a tricky question to answer, if I’ve learned anything it’s that life doesn’t typically goes as planned so I just hope to be happy and healthy and can’t wait to see what the future brings!”
Q: What is something on your bucket list?
A: “I would love to travel around the world and do missions work some day.”
Q: What is your go to band / singer when you cant decide what to listen to?
A: “This is a hard question, probably Harry Styles.”

A: “Monday nights at Young Life for sure!!!”
Q: What is something you want to do as soon as this pandemic is finished?
A: “Hug my friends super tight and just enjoy quality time together outside!”
Q: Who inspires you to be better?
A: “My lovely friend Suzanne Smith. For the past few months I have been in recovery for an eating disorder and Suzanne never fails to remind me what a life in full recovery can look like. When times are tough and I feel like
giving up I can always count on Suzanne to give me hope and motivation to push through. She is seriously the best. Everyone needs a Suzanne in their life!!”
