Her other activities besides attending Libertyville Hight School as a Sophomore are horseback riding at the Equestrian connection.

She plays Ella in the play Frozen at the Special gifts theatre. She attends

hip hop class at  Lake Forest parks and recreation.

Is a member of the Special Olympics swim team and soccer team. Also plays

A special thanks to Nancy and GiGi who keep on inspiring girls and boys to

achieve their given potential…. Their best life ever!!
