When I searched my name online, I was not able to find much, however, the top result was the graduation picture my church posted of me. The things that made up my digital footprint included:

Social Media Posts: An Instagram post from my church that included where I was going after graduation and where I graduated from

Athletic Events: My posted times and statistics from when I ran Track and Field

Family: A lot of images of my mother and a direct link to her social media accounts.
