After high school, she plans to attend college to major in wildlife management and work as an intern throughout college.

She said she would invite Arnold Schwarzenegger. She would like to show him the street filled with Pumpkins, the world's largest pumpkin pie, and the interesting displays in the arts and crafts building. She would introduce him to the wonderful cuisine offered at the Pumpkin Show. They would feast on pumpkin burgers, hot chicken sandwiches, pumpkin fudge, pumpkin rolls and Schmidt's sausages. He could meet all her friends and family and come to realize that the Pumpkin Show is not just fun, it conveys a sense of community pride and oneness. Then, after watching the last parade of the evening. I know he would turn to her and say, "I'll be back."

She described her favorite memory: With family residing in Circleville, she has attend the Pumpkin Show every year and said each year has been memorable. However, one year does stick in her mind as being the most memorable. When her sister was living in an upstairs near the swinging ship, they sat out on the roof of her building and watched all the people and events. The temperature that night was about 30 degrees and her sisters, friends and her decided to get a little crazy and went out and rode the swinging ship in their T-shirts and pajama bottoms. It was so cold, yet it was so fun.
