GET TO KNOW TRENTON

I grew up in a family of constant change, challenges, and overwhelming love. My family is not the typical suburban family and I was raised with challenges that many were not; however, those challenges made me the person I am today. I grew up with 2 loving parents and 2 supportive older brothers. My parents instilled in me a sense of responsibility, work ethic, and the ability to accept anyone no matter their background.  Growing up, we had a constant rotation of family, friends, and neighborhood people live with us who were in need of a safe and stable living situation at that moment. My parents instilled in me the desire to always be there for anyone in need and to have an open heart through any situation, and for that, I will forever be grateful.

My dad has the hardest work ethic of anyone that I know, a trait I'm proud to have learned from him as I graduated high school in the top of my class and began college with enough credits to cover my first 2 years.  I am the first person in my family to attend college and graduating is one of my greatest accomplishments.  While enrolled at Radford University, I worked a full-time job to support myself through my education.  I surrounded myself with friends, connections, and loved ones that I still rely on today to help shape the person I am. I became my true authentic self while attending college and I am so very thankful for the opportunity to further my education. and push myself more than I thought I could.
