I have been part of East Side Jrs. 4-H club since I was 9 years old! I have held several offices within the club, such as secretary and treasurer positions. I have always liked to have an array of projects every year. These include floriculture when I was younger, photography, woodworking, cooking, interior design, and my favorites, swine and beef. I attend Illinois State University and study Allied Health, which is a subfield of Kinesiology. After my undergrad, I hope to get into optometry school and become an eye doctor! I would not be where I am today without my 4-H club and the help of my grandparents, my parents, my uncles, my cousins, and my extended family. 4-H has taught me so many lessons that I will take with me and use in the future!
