Jill Wright – Bellarmine University

Jill will begin classes at Bellarmine University this fall, where she plans to study acting and communications. She has been a model for The Changing Face of Beauty, and hopes to pursue a career in modeling or acting. One of her goals is to “ROCK the runway!” She loves dancing, gardening and cooking, “because I LOVE to EAT!” She also loves expressing herself through drawing and painting.

Jill was named Citizen of the Year by Down Syndrome of Louisville, and is active in Special Olympics basketball, softball and cheerleading. She has performed the National Anthem and “Over the Rainbow” in American Sign Language for numerous groups and events. She is grateful to her college coach, Susan Teaford, from Down Syndrome of Louisville. We think you rock, Jill – we are so proud of you!
