What does being a leader mean to you? 
Continuously supporting those around you and encouraging them to perform to the best of their abilities, as well as encouraging yourself. 

If you could choose one superhuman ability, what would it be and why? 
To be invisible, so that I would be able to go anywhere I wanted without needing permission. 

What music artist or type of music and why does it impact you?  
Taylor Swift and her ability to persevere through hard times. She conveys so much feeling through music. 

What characteristic do you most admire in others and why? 
Someone's ability to admit when they are wrong and learn from their mistakes. When someone is able to learn from their mistakes, it allows them to grow rather than stay stuck in the same spot. 

What are you grateful for? 
I am extremely grateful for the endless support of my family and friends. I think it is very important to have a strong support system around you, and my family and friends have provided me with that.
