Hailee Gerrick
Sterling Heights,MI
Summary
My name is Hailee Gerrick, I am a recent graduate of Henry Ford II High School. Throughout my entire high school career I was in the theater program, I worked on lighting design which required innovative thinking, dedication, and manual labor. I trained underclassmen during my last two years in theater by using communication skills and team building exercises. I hope to one day work as an educator as I found a passion for working with children during my time as a babysitter and trainer. I will be continuing my education at Macomb Community College where I will study Education and Human Services.
