Alivia from Pennsylvania

Alivia is a bubbly and outgoing teen. She describes herself as a traditional girly-girl with her favorite color being any shade of pink, but she has also begun to like sage green as well. She loves to have her nails done at all times, whether she paints them herself or utilizes press-ons, but if she had the money, she would love to go to the nail salon all the time. While school is not her favorite thing, she does enjoy spending time with her friends. After school, she loves to go outside and play a game of basketball or softball with her friends. While she does not currently play for a school team, she would love to in the future. Alivia speaks about her future career goal of becoming a forensic scientist. She shared that this interest was sparked based on her love of true crime documentaries as well as fictional crime shows such as "Criminal Minds" and "Law & Order." Her biggest dream for the future is to have a good job that makes her a lot of money so that she is able to travel the world. Alivia has some strong connections in her life that she would like to maintain. Parental rights have not been terminated for Alivia; however, once a permanent resource is identified, the county will enact final steps to terminate parental rights.
