" Hello family! I am a senior at Hickory Ridge High School in Harrisburg, North Carolina. I was born in North Carolina and raised equally in Northern Virginia and NC. These two distinct locations have allowed me to experience a wide range of cultures that I find  intriguing and beautiful. Being a Black young woman with life experiences near the Nations Capital as well as the south, has molded me to view the world from many view-points and has allowed me to seek progress for my community.  In addition, I love hiking, sketching (I am bad at painting!), reading, and creating new digital projects! I am extremely outgoing and enjoy making new acquaintances and friends. I can't wait to get to know you all a little bit more just as you have gotten to know a little about me!"
