I grew up in a very small town known as Denver, NC with 5 siblings! Throughout high school, I was apart of many organizations and volunteered at an elementary school. I was also a main organizer for a community event that raised money for a scholarship (that is now given every year to one senior) in the name of Miranda Eckard, a friend and student, who had passed from pediatric cancer. As a college student, I have helped raise money and awareness for Autism Speaks, Domestic Violence, and have helped donate and collect clothes for the homeless.
