Grade: 12

Family members: Jeff and Kattia Krouse (parents), Justin, Nicole, and Nathan Krouse (siblings)

Favorite subject(s): My favorite subject is English. I think it offers a lot of room for creativity, both in actual creative works as well as more in-depth analysis of texts.

Next steps (after high school): I plan to attend a 4-year university and study English

Career goals: I’d like to work in a publishing house and become a part of the book publication process.

Heroes and why: Emma Watson, because she’s a strong female figure who uses her fame and recognition to spread positive and uplifting messages to women of all ages.

Hobbies: Reading, writing, and doing Pinterest DIYs

Volunteer/community work: I volunteer at First Presbyterian Church of Bethlehem every Wednesday

Likes: Writing, indie folk music, and my little pet turtle, Esmie.

Dislikes: Anything math related, passive aggressive personalities, and the color orange.

Advice for peers: Take every opportunity you can in life. Often times it opens up doors to other ones, and you’re giving yourself a chance to be more successful.
