How did CHS contribute to your success or prepare you for the leader you are today?
➡️ CHS helped me learn what I was passionate about. There were also certain teachers that helped show me how to treat and respect everyone.
Do you think school activities have a role in student success?
➡️ Yes, it teaches you about responsibility, hard work and
dedication.
If you could go back and change one thing about high school or college, what would it be?
➡️ High School I would put in more work towards everything.
College I wouldn’t change anything. I learned a lot about myself and who I wanted to be during this time.
Any suggestion on how a current student could prepare for their future career?
➡️ Find something that you enjoy doing. But be ok if your path changes. I still use my Graphic Design career but in a different way. I taught myself how to bake and had a lot of ups and downs. Baking is something I have always enjoyed doing so I kept going and have made it to where I am today.
