Favorite quote: “The noblest art is that of making others happy.” -P.T. Barnum
Favorite memory: As a general memory, Elida’s theatre department has had such an impact on me. Performing for a theatre program as good as Elida’s was an honor, and I have made so many good memories in Elida High School’s auditorium over the last four years.
Advice to future generations: Don’t ever be too embarrassed to do something you enjoy. Ill-spirited people will always find a way to make fun of you, so you might as well do what you love and not care what other people think!
