About me: I am a sophomore at Purcell High School. My favorite movie is Smoke Signals. I enjoy attending tribal events, playing basketball, stickball, golf, and billiards. I enjoy hanging out with my family and friends. I attend church at Landmark in Purcell and have a wonderful youth group there. I have four dogs, one pig, piglets on the way, and two horses.
Role model: My Role model is my mom, Lisa J. Billy. She has overcome much adversity and proven to be a wonderful leader for not only her family, but everyone she meets.
Two celebrities or historical figures you would want to have dinner with (living or not) and why? I would have dinner with Winston Churchill because he was a great leader and I could learn a lot from him. I would also have dinner with Pearl Carter Scott. She was the youngest female licensed pilot in the state of Oklahoma and she was Chickasaw. I am interested in aviation and I am also Chickasaw, so it would be a great honor to learn from her.
Favorite AHA event and why? One of my favorite American Heart Association events that I have attended was a daddy daughter cooking class because I got to spend time with my dad as we learned how to cook tasty, healthy dishes that even my dad would enjoy eating. (That’s a tough one to do, too.)
Why is advocating with the American Heart Association important to you? Advocating for the American Heart Association is very important to me because being I love having the opportunity to help other people, learn about the importance of healthy living and, how it can positively affect the future of Oklahoma.
I have learned so much from the opportunity of serving as a Sweetheart and Advocate for the American Heart Association. I am committed even more now, to living a healthy lifestyle.
Today, I challenge each of you to join me and get involved with the lifesaving advocacy work of the American Heart Association.
