Family
In addition to my parents, Leslie and Devon Coughlan, I have an older sister named Kelly.

How did your years at GSS benefit you in all of your post-graduate experiences and help make you who you are today?
Attending Gulf Stream School put me a step ahead of others when I entered high school. I was prepared to tackle a heavy workload and knew how to manage my time well. My years participating in athletics at GSS also enabled me to be a team player and gave me the confidence I needed to compete at a high level while still having fun.

Who was your favorite teacher(s) and/or what was your favorite subject(s)?
My favorite teachers at GSS were Mr. and Mrs. Handler. They were always the first teachers I would see when I arrived at school in the morning — smiling and getting my day started on the right foot. I think they are the reason that GSS continues to provide such a safe and positive atmosphere for its students, both in the classroom and on the athletics fields.

Any special experiences, memories or quotes?
Some of my fondest memories were the trips I took to Canada and the Grand Canyon in seventh and eighth grades, respectively. They were incredible! The itineraries were always packed with amazing experiences, and those trips sparked my love of travel and made me the adventurous person I am today.
