ABOUT ME
I know in my heart that I was given my life story and obstacles for a reason.
Tragically I lost both of my parents to cancer and it left me and my two sisters in
Foster Care. My sisters are my best friends. I love supporting them & being
there for my little sister; they inspire me. As an orphan and former foster youth I
became very independent at a young age and I'm proud to say that I am a
freshman in college supporting myself. In honor of my parents I dedicate a lot of
my free time to 3 major Cancer organizations & the Foster Nation.
