$5000 Eliot Marshall and Anonymous
“My goal in life is to help people feel understood and less alone,
and I aim to share those stories through film, with the help of a college education.”
As a high school student, Hailey found her niche, using video and film as her way of promoting kindness, forgiveness and graciousness.
She served as editor-in-chief of her school’s yearbook, a teacher’s assistant in Monmouth Academy’s video program, and founded Monmouth Media.
Hailey’s determination to create inclusion for all interests and abilities shows in her commitments to various causes and organizations. Her leadership roles always include the same traits – listening, accepting, and helping to ensure that everyone is given opportunities.
She will stand up to those who show less than kindness to others, yet she has a way to create an understanding of what causing pain can do to others.
Hailey will attend Husson University.
