Hailey is born and raised in Portland and is a graduate of De La Salle North High School where she played basketball and ran track.  She now attends Mount Hood Community College and is a college track athlete.  Hailey is a passionate about mentoring, believing having someone in your life who is not required to be there but wants to be there is important.  It is a feeling that not many youth get to experience.  As a mentor she hope her mentees take one thing from their time together: they can do anything and it's important not to limit yourself or let others make limits on what you can accomplish.
