What is the craziest thing you have ever done?
Wild boars destroy crops and kill livestock in southwest Oklahoma which obviously creates a problem for many farmers. Several of my guy friends decided to go hunting one night and invited me to tag along. The daredevil in me could not resist! The dogs were set lose and it was not long before we had a big wild boar on the run. We caught it, wrestled it down, tied it up and removed it from the area. This was not only the craziest thing that I have ever done, but also the biggest adrenaline rush ever!

I believe that talents are things you enjoy most. I’m a good listener and enjoy making others feel like they are the only person in the room. I enjoy the opportunity to encourage smiles and laughter. I enjoy cooking meals (desserts included) for close friends and have been told that this is my strongest talent. The guys enjoy my camp fire meals and the girls rave over my creative dinner parties.

Only 250 students were chosen out of 80,000 applicants to receive the Coca-Cola Scholarship.

I now attend Oklahoma State University where I will graduate with a degree in Speech-Language Pathology.
