What activities were you involved in at Ada HS?
I played soccer and ran track.
Where do you live now and what are you doing?
I now live in Columbus near Polaris. I quit my job as a server over the summer to pursue my handbag business full time.
Please tell us about LuxeFunction, your custom handbag business.
The handbag business I started is called Luxe Function. I design everything in my line for function first and then for looks. Each aspect is as important as the other.

Early voting on the November ballot is underway in Ohio, and local citizens have a number of initiatives to consider. For more information on voting, issues and candidates, please visit the Hardin County Board of Elections website at http://co.hardin.oh.us/boe/.
Included on the ballot is a Village of Ada proposed municipal income tax renewal. This proposed levy is for a continuation of the current 0.15% levy on income tax, so it does not result in an increase in taxes. The stated purpose of the levy is for repairs, maintenance, operations and improvements at the Village of Ada’s swimming pool.
