What are some of your hobbies and how did you get into them? 

Some of my favorite hobbies are soccer, lacrosse, and surfing. I have been playing soccer for my whole life, but I joined lacrosse in high school because my friends wanted to do it and I loved learning a new sport. I learned to surf with my sister, but don’t go as often since she has moved out.

If I could be in any movie it would be Harry Potter because it would be cool to do magic and be a part of Hogwarts with all the characters. 

Who do you look up to and why?

I look up to my sister because she puts her best into everything she does and she always does the right thing. She always knows what to say and I can talk to her about anything.

If I had a day off I would go shopping and go to the beach with my friends because those two things make me happiest, especially with my favorite people. 

What is your favorite quote and why?

My favorite quote is from Joshua 1:9 in the bible. It says, “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go”. This is my favorite because it reminds me that I am never alone in the things I go through.

How do you meet the EHS standards of P.R.I.D.E. (Positive, Responsible, Innovative, Determined, Engaged)?
