When it comes to her favorite movie, she can watch “Sweet Home Alabama” over and over. Switching things up, her current read is “Where the Crawdads Sing.” As far as TV shows, she’s currently binge-watching “Suits” but also enjoys tuning in to reality shows like “The Bachelor” and “Big Brother.” 

Role models can leave a significant impression on people, and Pitts is no exception. Her first boss in the credit union industry inspired her to strive for her passions. “She is authentically herself and is aware of her strengths and weaknesses,” said Pitts of her first boss. “She’s passionate and committed, and I hope to be like her one day.”  

One thing that surprises people about Pitts is that she was once featured in Who’s Who Among American High School Students. Considering the places Pitts has traveled, Cayman Islands is her favorite destination. “The water is beautiful, and I love seeing the sea turtles and stingrays.” 

Her favorite nonprofit to support is United Way because they collaborate with other nonprofits in her area. She also enjoys participating in the Day of Caring and giving back to the community in small but impactful ways.  

If Pitts ever has a craving for dessert, her all-time favorite is a treat called Banana Goodness, which she compares to banana pudding “but better.”

One thing that surprises most people is Butzin’s impressive height of 6 feet 8 inches. If he could have a conversation with any musician, he would choose Post Malone. “He’s my favorite music artist and a nerd like me,” said Butzin.  

His role model is his brother, who showed him the importance of staying positive in the hardest of times. Butzin’s favorite nonprofit to support is the National Scoliosis Foundation. “My brother has severe scoliosis, and helping families with their needs can help more than you think; I’ve seen it firsthand.” 

If he could have one superpower, Butzin would choose teleportation because it would make traveling anywhere accessible. If he ever feels a craving for a sweet snack, he searches for his favorite dessert, cheesecake.

I’m not one to give up easily, especially if it’s something I’m truly passionate about.” 

A movie she can watch on repeat is “Coming to America.” She enjoys it so much that she knows nearly all the punch lines. When she feels like binge-watching some television, she tunes into “Chicago Med” because she loves a good medical series.
