You take on your life and future with a very positive attitude: “In ten years I see myself doing what I love and interacting with people in a career dealing with Public Relations. No matter where life takes me, I think it is important to laugh and always have a smile.”
Your outlook on hard work came from your parents? “I have been successful because both of my parents have shown me how important it is to work hard and be determined. They taught me to shoot for the moon, and even if I missed I would land upon the stars. I know now, because of them, to never give up. Failure is not the worst thing that could happen but failure to give your best is.”
What is a favorite quote that you live by? “Today is the day, this is the team, and no one can beat us.” This is the quote my team and I would say before each race on the starting line. It got us motivated and pushed us to run as fast and as hard as we could. Each race we ran for each other and became more like sisters than teammates.”
