Personal Background:
Born and raised in Louisville, I am pleased to continue my endeavors this year at UofL, which I love almost as much as the city itself.  I am pretty relaxed in general and it's rare if you ever see me stressed.  In my spare time, you will find me dancing (ballet and modern), hanging out with friends, wasting time on the Internet, or doing homework. In general, I like to have fun and be creative. This has lead to my previously undiscovered talent of "pseudo-graphic design" and to my current position of official flyer-maker, I mean, Director of Public Relations. :)
Though I dabbled in everything in high school (from varsity softball to altar server,) I had never been involved with Student Council until coming to Speed School. And now I love it!  I am so excited to be a director this year. Please let me know if you ever need help with anything on council (even if it's not directly related to Public Relations) and I will either get you in contact with the right person or I will help you myself!
