Have you had any mentors or teachers who made a significant impact on you?

Mrs. Merryman, Mrs. Patterson, and Mrs. Duenas have all had a significant impact on me. I was diagnosed with ADHD my sophomore year and they were the ones who strongly advocated for me when I was really struggling and helped me succeed. They worked with my mom to help me feel good about my work and to get the help and diagnosis I needed.

What advice would you give to incoming freshmen based on your experiences?

I would advise them to work hard and to ask for help when you need it. It is so much easier to succeed when you ask for help and advocate for yourself.

What is one of your favorite memories from your time at Trinity?

One of my favorite memories from Trinity is meeting my 1st grade buddies and getting to bond with them. I think it’s super important to have someone you look up to, so being that person for my buddies is something I really value.

How do you think Trinity has prepared you for life after high school?

Trinity has taught me the skills I need to be successful in college. Specifically, study skills and how to use my time wisely and efficiently. It has also taught me how to effectively communicate with teachers and adults. It has given me the confidence to advocate for myself and feel comfortable to ask for help when needed.

What are your plans after you graduate?

I plan to go to the University of Oklahoma and major in journalism or communications with the dream of going into sports broadcasting/media.
