Comments: “My dream job is to own my own magazine, which I have already started working on, that focuses on the issues that truly matter and entertainment that people of all ages can appreciate. I want to give back to the people that have given me the most starting with my mom. She has given so much to me and has always been there; she is truly one of the reasons why I can never give up. Though I am only 17, I have achieved a lot more than some teens in Hartford ever get a chance to do, and I am only getting started.”
