Introduce Yourself/Tell About Yourself: Hello, my name is Kaitlyn and I’m just a small town girl living in Duluth Minnesota! I live an average day to day life, or Duluthian life I like to call it. My days consist of hiking, jamming out to music, and spending time with my family.

What Inspires You Every day? : My mom is my biggest inspiration and supporter, she is most definitely my best friend. She will always give me great advice for any situation I’m in, and I’m so thankful for her.

What is some words of wisdom you live by?: “If you don’t talk to people how can you expect them to change.” – Jane Goodall

“You can’t lose what you’ve never lost.” – Marry Poppins

“Don’t water things down to make others more comfortable.” – Tiktok @evrmoon444

What is your ultimate goal in life? : My ultimate goal in life is to help and support as many people as I can. All I want to do is make sure people have a reason to smile everyday.

How have you been during the pandemic and how has it affected you? : During the pandemic, it has been a smooth, a bumpy road, and full of new learning experiences. Due to covid I have been laid off from jobs, had my senior year of high school cut short, and many friendships and relationships have fallen through due to no contact.

What is a message you would like to give others? : I always try to tell others to look at the bright side of things and put your best foot forward. If things are meant to be, it’ll be. Never force things to happen, just go with your gut and things will work in your favor.

What else would you like to tell others about you or your life?: Please never judge a book by its cover, and that includes people, animals and situations. You never know what someone is going through. I have been through the ups and downs of life and in the end being kind is always the right choice. I will always try to stay true to myself and I hope others will too!
