Who am I?

Throughout my life I've moved numerous times and called many places home. Living in states like GA, SC, NC, NY, and KS have taught me how to be adaptable and outgoing. I always strive to do better and try new things to enhance my creative skills, process, and knowledge. My passions include skiing, water sports, the environment, and anything creative I can get my hands on. Senior year of high school I broke by femur in two spots and fractured my foot. The result was a titanium rod in my leg and being put in a wheelchair for months but, that didn't stop me when in came to graduation less than two weeks later.  The day of, I decided to crutch across the stage with my brace and boot on to accept my diploma because I wanted to stand tall and proud of my accomplishment. I believe that can show how resilient and determined I can be, especially when i'm proud of what I am doing.
