What activities were you involved in at Ada HS?
I played soccer and ran track.
Where do you live now and what are you doing?
I now live in Columbus near Polaris. I quit my job as a server over the summer to pursue my handbag business full time.
Please tell us about LuxeFunction, your custom handbag business.
The handbag business I started is called Luxe Function. I design everything in my line for function first and then for looks. Each aspect is as important as the other.

The Ada High School Marching Band competed in two competitions this past Saturday.
The band traveled to Columbus early Saturday morning to compete in the Buckeye Invitational at Ohio Stadium. Following this performance, the band packed everything up, headed to the mall for lunch (still in competition attire garnering a lot of stares) then traveled to Zanesville to compete in the Maysville High School Band Competition.
Start us off by telling us about your college, your major, and your year.
I am a senior in the Biology program at D’Youville College. D’Youville is a teeny tiny private school located in downtown Buffalo, New York. A little bit different from Ada! To get to Buffalo from Ada it is about a six hour drive, so I don’t come home often.
Personal finance, psychology, calculus, helper in the media center, Spanish 4, AP English and physics.
You are a senior. What are your plans next year?
I’ve looked at ONU and plan to visit Ohio University. I’d like to major in pre-vet and then go to grad school and become a veterinarian specializing in large animals.
