Emma Sellors is a student graduating from Atlee High school and attending the University of Mary Washington to study Psychology, hoping to become a pediatric occupational therapist! She enjoys helping those who have special needs, and has been doing so for over 5 years through Challenger, All star, Tilt, Bridge Builders, nannying, and more. She also has spent the last year working on a mental health project, the You Are Loved Project, which helps spreading awareness for suicide and mental health!
I am Jazmin Johnson graduating from Hanover High School and I will attending UNCW in the fall in hopes to double major in psychology and recreational therapy. I enjoy anything involving music whether that is dancing singing, or playing viola. I also love working with special needs individuals and going to events that my church holds for my youth group every week.
