1) THE BEST THING THAT HAPPENED TO YOU IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS?
Launching my blog, In the Write! I have always loved to share stories and talk with new people and this blog has taught me so much about leadership, community building, and devotion. It has allowed me to connect with some of the most amazing people I would have otherwise never gotten to know.

2) THE WORST THING THAT HAPPENED TO YOU IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS?
For the last few months I have been healing from a spasm in my chest called Prinzmetal Angina, which caused a painful shooting sensation in my chest. This was also accompanied by fatigue and acid reflux which made it very difficult to finish my junior year of high school and also to keep up with my usual activities.

3) YOUR BIGGEST WISH FOR THE NEAR FUTURE?
Recently, I was presented with a potential opportunity to share a screenplay I have been working on with someone I very much admire and who would be able to give me the advice I need to improve it. My biggest wish is that they will like the screenplay and that in the future I won’t be timid in finding new ways to share my work on a larger scale.

4) YOUR BIGGEST WORRY FOR THE NEAR FUTURE?
Of course with the current pandemic, there are a lot of things that are causing me to worry about the future. But right now, I am focused on getting the grades I strive for in school and doing my best on my college applications this fall. I am a natural-born worrier, so I am really trying to minimize the number of things I allow myself to worry about.

5) A CONTEMPORARY WOMAN YOU CURRENTLY ADMIRE?
This may be the most difficult question you could ask me! There are so many women I admire who I know personally. But right now, Millicent Simmonds is one of my favorite role models. She is a wonderful actress and I love how she takes pride in her deafness and is showing the world that no matter your age or disability, you can do anything you set your mind to.

6) A ONE-SENTENCE MESSAGE TO OTHER WOMEN?
Don’t be the person to shut the door on an opportunity because of your self doubts.
