2006 Presidential Freedom Scholarship. As a recipient of this 
prestigious award, she is recognized for her outstanding leadership and 
commitment to servicing of her community and its residents.

displaying exceptional service and citizenship, with a $1,000 
scholarship to the college of their choice. To be eligible for 
nomination, individuals must have completed at least 100 hours of

her school, community and country.
