Who are your role models? My grandmother, my mom, my dad and my siblings.

Which coaches have had the most influence on you? Why? Coach Spikes and Coach Argenbright have had the most influence on me throughout high school. They always help me with anything I need and they have always believed in me when I didn’t even believe in myself. I know they both would do anything for me and I am forever thankful for that.

Who is your favorite teacher? My favorite teacher is Mr. Lykins because he always helps all of his students and makes us strive to do our best. He is willing to help anyone with anything. His class is also my favorite.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years? I see myself working in a hospital as either an anesthesiologist or an anesthetist nurse. I also see myself married and starting a family.

Something about yourself that most people don’t know: When I was eight months old I almost died from an allergic reaction.

What will you miss most about high school sports? I will miss just playing in general. I’ll miss my teammates, coaches, memories, laughter and the fun of playing.
