What is your hometown, what brought you to
PENSACOLA and how long have you been here?
My parents and I moved to Pensacola to be closer to my mom’s
family, and for my dad’s new job. We’ve now lived here for 16
years, and I could not imagine calling anywhere else home. I just
finished my freshman year at Harvard, but I am glad to be home
for the summer, enjoying the warmth and southern hospitality
that I have missed.
What led you to choose this profession?
I am Concentrating in Economics at Harvard and plan to pursue
a Secondary degree in Spanish. Eventually, I hope to attend law
school and return to Pensacola. I want to specialize in corporate
law because it merges my passions for business and the legal
field together.
What do you like best about Pensacola? What makes it
unique?
Pensacola is filled with historic, southern charm and placed
along the most pristine beaches in the country. There is no other
place in the country where you can enjoy centuries of history,
southern cuisine and culture, and white sandy beaches all at
once.
Give three words that best describe you
.
Loyal. Driven. Kind.
Name a few favorite things you like about Pensacola.
My favorite things about Pensacola are our beaches. Surfing,
swimming, and biking on Pensacola Beach are things I
do everyday. I love the outdoors, but I also like going into
downtown Pensacola and eating at our variety of restaurants,
especially those with a southern flare.
Finish this statement, I AM PENSACOLA because…
I love our home fiercely, and will always strive to make our city
prosperous, our beaches beautiful, and our people happy.
I AM PENSACOLA
