WHAT MEMORIES DO YOU TAKE AWAY WITH YOU AS YOU LEAVE HIGH SCHOOL?

WHAT ADVICE DO YOU HAVE FOR YOUR FELLOW STUDENTS?

“When you get the work, do it right away. Don’t procrastinate. Also, take time for yourself, that really helps.”

WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS AFTER YOU GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL?

“I will play collegiate golf for Our Lady the Lake University, major in Kinesiology and make it to the LPGA. To make it to the tour would be very special, especially to win. It’s always been a dream of mine to play in the LPGA. I’ve always liked the medical field, I take medical classes here. I also like sports medicine.”

WHAT MESSAGE DO YOU HAVE FOR YOUR PARENTS OR TEACHERS OR COACHES?

“To my mom, thank you for being with me throughout these years and helping me get to where I am and get to where I’m going to be soon.”
