I was born in Norfolk, Virginia on June 22, 2008. Growing up in Virginia Beach I made many friendships, and once in a lifetime memories either in school, girl scout camp in elementary school, being an older sister, or being active in my city. My parents gave my sister and me everything we asked for and more. As I enter my senior year at Landstown High School, I reflect on my younger years and how they shaped me into the person I am today.
Growing up my family has always been passionate about sports if it’s NFL, CFB or NBA. Many of my earliest memories consist of Saturday afternoons watching my dad cheer for the Florida State Seminoles or late Sunday nights as he watched the Washington Redskins, take the field for a game. I soon became a fan of different teams like the Cincinnati Bengals and Minnesota Timberwolves. Being exposed to the atmosphere of sports at such a young age made me passionate about pursuing a career in the sports industry.
I knew from my freshman year I wanted to go to an out of state college. When I became passionate about getting a degree in journalism I looked into UGA and that soon became my dream school. I hope wherever I end up going to college I get my degree in journalism and become a sports reporter for a professional team in a big city, with hopes to interview some of my favorite athletes like Ja’marr Chase, Justin Jefferson, Anthony Edwards, Tank Dell, and of course the GOAT Lebron James. I love watching women dominate in the sports industry with reporting, it shows women can work just as well as men can in a male-dominated career.
Outside of watching sports I played soccer for many years, but eventually got tired of it. My mom signed me up for volleyball and I fell in love with it. I met so many people and have won two city championships within two years. I ventured out of my comfort zone and joined my schools basketball team and gained so many fun memories along with amazing friendships. Besides being on a court you can find me in the kitchen baking or with my Beats on blasting music, at the lake house with my cousin, or cuddling with my three dogs while watching a Disney movie.
Growing up with unconditional love and support from the people around me made me appreciate the little things in life and how to always look on the bright side of things.
