What’s a challenge you’ve faced and how did you get through it?
At 13 I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease that changed my life forever. From missing half my senior year of high school to undergoing multiple surgeries and treatments, my health has created an optimism inside me that carries me through every challenge that comes my way. I have gotten through all challenges in my life by anchoring myself in community and faith, looking at issues logically, and leveraging the insight of those I trust.
