What accomplishments brought you to Daffodil? Like all the other 23 Princesses, a demonstration of leadership, strong academics, and a love for life and service are the accomplishments that have brought me to this wonderful festival. The service aspect was my main motivation. All my life, I have received the most happiness by putting others before myself, and in turn, have had many others return the favor. Through this experience I hope to pay all of the help, love and support that I have received forward on an even grander scale.

What are your future plans?Β In my not too distant future, I will attend either Seattle University or the University of Portland to major in Nursing, and later go on to earn my Nurse Practitioner degree.

Who is someone you admire?Β My mom, without a doubt, is the most admirable person in my life. From my first breath, up until the moment I wrote this, and from here on out, she has been everything for me. If I end up being half the woman she is, I will be eternally grateful.

In 10 years, I will be... A Nurse Practitioner, a wife, and a mom, continuing to be of service in the medical field, in my community, as well as in my family. I know these hopes and plans will come with a myriad of challenges, but I have faith that if God will bring me to it, He will also bring me through it.

One of my hidden talents is... my ability to sing! Someone could probably catch me singing a tune anywhere and at anytime. Some of my favorite pastimes have been singing in my church band, and in the Chamber and Jazz choirs at Fife High School. I can already see myself 50+ years from now being one of those little old ladies at church who continues to sing her heart, as if no one else was listening.
