What was your favorite class (classes), favorite teacher (teachers)?
My favorite class was anatomy and physiology with Mr. Peachey!
What are a few of your favorite memories from GHS?
All of the sporting events! Basketball games in the winter, football games in the fall! As well as the summer seasons. The student sections were always the most fun.
What did you do right after high school?
I went to play at Knox college and study pre-med, but ended up deciding to go straight to nursing school, so transferred to another college to pursue my RN degree.
Where and what did you do for a career?
I graduated nursing school in 2021, went directly into Emergency nursing and have been an ER nurse since!
What are you up to these days?
I am currently living in the beautiful Margaret River, Western Australia. I have been living here for the past few years now. I have traveled around to different parts of the country working as an ER nurse and am now settled in my favorite region here and currently in the process of getting Australian permanent residency 😃
Although I am working full time again, I still make plenty of time to hangout with friends, surf, and travel around a bit when I get the chance. This November, I am visiting Galesburg for the first time since I’ve left and am very keen to see my family and friends!
What advice would you have for today's Silver Streak athletes?
Play for each other- wins and records matter but not as much as the way you lift each other up in and off the court!
Discipline now, turns into confidence later.
Enjoy the ride- someday you’ll look back and realize the bus rides, the laughs, and the tough losses shaped you as much as the wins. Don’t forget to enjoy every moment while you’re in it!
