Christine’s and Olive Garden.
If you could travel anywhere in the world right now, where would it be and why?
I would travel to Germany because before COVID, I was scheduled to go there this summer to visit my Uncle, Aunt, and cousin, as well as my best friend who is stationed there. I was planning on going to his town, as well as Paris and Amsterdam before starting college.
What is one of your favorite movies? TV shows?
My favorite TV show is “Switched at Birth” or “Friends”.
Favorite movie would be “The Notebook”.
If you were asked to give advice to your senior class and the younger students at your school, what would you say?
Live to your fullest and don’t give up. You don’t have to be successful – just happy. We are all under so much pressure that instead of being “successful” in society’s eyes, do what makes you happy. Be selfish sometimes and think of yourself first.
If you were able to be cast as yourself into a television show or series, what show would you want to be in?
Friends
