Interesting Fact: I am very creative and outgoing, and love to scrapbook.

Hello, my name is Caroline Spink. I am 15 years old and currently a sophomore at Beaver River Central School. I am a 2010-2011 NYS Officer, and love FCCLA. I have been in Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America for 5 years. I am so thankful for the opportunities that FCCLA has given me and I would recommend that anyone that gets the chance to join FCCLA should. I love to spend time with my family, volunteering, and helping others. I have five brothers and enjoy spending time outside with them and my two dogs. Fashion makes life interesting and is a hobby that I enjoy, along with sewing, singing, dancing, and acting. I have many goals for the future, like educating people how they can use their leadership skills and using my own leadership skills. In my future, I am looking towards a career in criminal justice after college. I have many great memories already of my year as a State Officer Elect and am looking forward to many more in the future.

Gabrielle Marriott - Parliamentarian/Public Relations

District: 9
Advisor: Janet Driscoll
Interesting Fact: I am in ninth grade. In my spare time, I've mastered the tuba, bassoon, and flute, and I play JV tennis and Varsity bowling.

Hey! I'm Gabrielle Marriott and this year, I'm a 2010-2011 NYS Officer. I'm from Seneca Falls and I'm currently attending Mynderse Academy. This year, I turned fourteen, and I'm a freshman. This is my fourth year being a part of FCCLA and I have competed in three different STAR Events. I have also attended the 2009 National meeting, several state meetings, and one cluster meeting in Buffalo. In my free time I like to design new fashions, hang out with friends, and participate in many other school organizations. Fashion and cosmetology have always interested me, so I aspire to be a runway stylist. In my school, I play junior-varsity tennis and varsity bowling. I enjoy playing tennis because I have always been above average for my grade level. I recently have taken up bowling and have found it to be another very enjoyable sport. One thing that you can usually always find me doing, is listening to music. Some of my favorite artists are Chase Coy, The classic Crime, and Carter Hulsey. FCCLA has made me a more outgoing and caring person. I think that with all the support and training I have received, I have become a lot more sociable and informed.

Rebecca Keller - Officer at Large

District: 9
Advisor: Janet Driscoll
Interesting Fact: I'm in 9th grade. I enjoy skiing every winter with my family. And I've successfully gone down black diamonds (some of the harder slopes), without a face-plant.

I'm Rebecca Keller and I am a NYS FCCLA officer elect. I am currently fourteen years old and a freshman at Mynderse Academy in District 9. I have been involved in FCCLA for four years now and have loved every minute of this ultimate leadership experience. When I started this organization, I was shy and giving presentations in front of even a few people, was nerve racking. FCCLA has provided me with the opportunities to grow as a person and a leader. Speeches are no problem now, and I feel I am much more outgoing. Besides FCCLA, I also love music and I am actively involved in band, jazz band, and chorus, and play piano, flute and oboe. I've always been known as a bit of a "nerd", which doesn't bother me, but you can often find me curled up with a book or doodling in a sketchpad. I am looking forward to this upcoming year. I can't wait to see everyone again next year, where we can share this ultimate leadership experience together.

Kayla Grey - Communications

District: 10
Advisor: Laura Land CFCS
Interesting Fact: I am a freshman and I have been in FCCLA ever since the beginning of my 6th grade year. If I am not doing schoolwork or involved in FCCLA, you would find me taking care of the 50 goats I have.

My name is Kayla Grey. I am currently a 14 year old freshman at Cattaraugus- Little Valley Central School in District 10B. I have been involved in FCCLA since the beginning of my 6th grade year. When I am not busy with FCCLA, find me involved in many sports. I am most involved in bowling. I bowl every Saturday morning and I have been on my school's Varsity Bowling team for 3 years, including this year. Another club that I am actively involved in is 4-H. I have shown pigs, dairy cattle, and goats. I have also done crafts, scrapbooking, an educational booth, and baked goods. As a 4-H member, I raise goats at my house. In my family, I have 3 sisters. I have 1 older sister and 2 younger sisters. My favorite colors are lime green and turquoise. These colors would be the colors of my room if I didn't share a room with my older sister. After I graduate from high school, I plan to attend college to become a newspaper journalist or broadcast journalist. I am very excited for my upcoming year as a State Officer.

Cathrine Nelson - Secretary/Voting Delegate

District: 7
Advisor: Shirley Ware
Interesting Fact: I am in Grade 11. I love to write stories in my free time. I hope to write a book someday.

Hello, I am Cathrine (Cat) Nelson, a New York State FCCLA 2010-2011 NYS Officer. I live in Cicero, and represent District 7. I attend Cicero-North Syracuse High School, and I am a junior. Being a leader has always been something I've taken seriously, and through FCCLA I found the ultimate leadership experience. Once I graduate high school, I plan on moving to New York City to attend college and study cinematography in order to make a difference in this world through films. I feel if I can impact one life out there, I truly have accomplished something because every person in this world matters. When I am trying to relax, I listen to music. One of my favorite singers is the late Michael Jackson, and his some "Man in the Mirror" inspires my make changes in myself in order to help impact others.

"If you wanna make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and then make a change" – Michael Jackson
