What is your hometown?
Stillwater Minnesota. 

Where are you attending college and what is your major? 
I attend Lindenwood University in St. Charles, MO and I am majoring in Public Health with a minor in Pre-nursing.

What excites you about interning with Make-A-Wish Minnesota?
To see and understand the background of such an amazing organization that helps change the lives of so many children.

If you could pick one job to do forever (and be guaranteed all the money you need), what job would it be?
I would choose to be either a pediatric nurse or a traveling nurse. The idea of helping people excites me, especially children and traveling at the same time would be a dream come true. 

If you could be a Disney® character, who would you be and why?
I think I would be Moana because she is super adventurous and also wants to help the people in her tribe. She also loves the ocean and the animals she travels with.

If you were granted a wish, what would it be? -OR- What’s at the top of your bucket list?
My wish would be to conduct a trip highlighting all different types of cultures and really engaging in the lives of those people to see how different they are from my life in the United States.

What’s something about you that people would be surprised to know?
I was a two time captain for both my lacrosse team and my state champion gymnastics team my senior and junior year in high school, and am now a Division I athlete on the Women’s Lacrosse team at my university.
