1. What are your weaknesses?

My biggest weakness is related to my lack of organizational skills. I find that It is a lot easier to stay organized when using items such as planners and phone reminders as well as relying on others. 

​

2. What are your strengths?

I believe that I have good communication and people skills. I have always had an easy time making friends and working with other people. I believe that this has also led to good leadership skills. In the choir at my high school, I help lead by running class when the teacher is gone, student- conducting, and leading the A Capella group.

​

3. Who do you look up to/who is your mentor?

I look up to my parents a lot because even though they both did not go to college, they both are able to provide and give my brother and I opportunities and a generally good life. They also encourage me to try and fulfill my ambitions and fully support who I am as well as who I am trying to become. I appreciate everything my parents have done for me and am extremely lucky to be their daughter.

​

4. What keeps you up at night?

A fear of failure is what keeps me up at night. For as long as I can remember, I have always overthought everything, thinking of worst case scenarios even when succeeding is what's most likely to happen. Although my fear of failure can hold me back at times, it has never stopped me from doing what is truly important.

​

5. What kind of person would you refuse to work with?

I would like to avoid working with someone who is openly rude to people for no reason. There are better ways to act and no one really deserves to be looked down upon. This being said, I understand that sometimes people have bad days and can't help what their situation is. However, I believe that I could still work with a person of this description if need be. 

​

6. How do you deal with conflict?

I try to avoid conflict as much as possible. But, if it were to happen in a professional setting, the simplest solution is to talk to the other person, listen carefully, develop a plan to work on said conflict, and then follow through with that plan. The worst thing you could do is let a conflict, whether it be from a friend, co-worker, or stranger, sit and fester. Therefore, the best thing to do would be to work it out with them until we both could have a clear understanding of one another.

​

7. What have you learned from mistakes on the job/in training or school?

From making mistakes on the job, I can say that I have learned that if you make a mistake on the job it is not the end of world. The best thing to do do is apologize, try to fix it as quickly and efficiently as possible, and learn from that experience as much as you can to not make the same mistake again. For example, when I first worked as an umpire for the South Lyon Rec. League, I would sometimes make a bad call and have to re-assess the situation which would take time and just make me feel inadequate. I learned though over time that I was making a big deal out of nothing and that I just needed to not make the same mistake again.

​

8. What kind of work do you enjoy the most?

I really enjoy work where I can be creative and step out of my comfort zone. I love to come up with different ideas to try and add some fun to an ordinary day. If I could incorporate this into my work, it would be very rewarding.

​

9. Tell me about a time that you participated in a team, what was your role?

I am on the JV Tennis team at South Lyon East. I joined for the first time as a senior and have little experience overall at tennis. However, I think I have improved tremendously from the beginning to end. I have a lot of friends on the team and I think that we will all have lasting impact on each other. Most of the time, I play four or five doubles. Although I am extremely competitive, I joined the sport for fun and ended up with a team and friends that I can depend on.

​

10. Tell me about an accomplishment your most proud of.

I am extremely proud of how far my choir has come. I am a part of two choirs: Bel Canto and East Vocal Ensemble. For years these two choirs have been competing for high scores and with each other at districts. The advanced choirs were consistently getting a 116/120 every year which is really good but we wanted a perfect 120. Over the years we have not yet achieved this goal. However we have beaten the record twice in my four years. As a sophomore the all girls choir, Bel Canto, achieved a 117/120 and we were ecstatic. Then the same choir got a 118 this year breaking the record again. This may not seem like a big accomplishment to some people, but to be able to look back and compare myself from freshman year to now and to be able to see that we were able to inch that much closer to our goal is very exciting.
