Why did you choose to attend Central Catholic and what’s the best thing about being here?
“I chose to attend Central Catholic because of the phenomenal academic curriculum and athletic programs. Basketball and volleyball were my main passions. I also chose to study here at Central because of the diverse demographic. It’s so refreshing and comfortable to walk into a school where there are students who come from various backgrounds, whether it be cultural, religious, financial, racial, etc.! The best thing about Central Catholic High School is the immeasurable pride and spirit inside these strong four walls. Irish Nation rules!”
Future Plans:
“I plan to attend Alabama A&M University, an HBCU, majoring in sociology with a minor in criminal justice and/or anatomy. If this doesn’t work out, I want to be actively involved with my family’s business. My mother has started a beauty supply store, called 4 Sistas Beauty, with her three sisters. Their inspiration came from the passion of building a legacy for their kids and future generations. They also observed the lack of black owned hair stores, which sparked the idea to care for their people.”
