Q: What is your favorite movie?

Q: What is your favorite memory with your family?

Q: What is your favorite memory you have had here at Rosary?

A: My favorite memory at Rosary would have to be winning the State Championship my freshman year. My freshman year was by far the most memorable year because I made countless friendships and memories that I will never forget, and I feel like I had the most success that year.

Q: What do you like to do on your free time?

A: I am a very creative and artistic girl, so on my free time I love to play the guitar and teach myself new songs, draw, cook, bake, teach myself new calligraphy, and most importantly hang out with friends.
