“Hello, my name is Kloey Palmer and I am the daughter of Melissa and Cory Palmer. Throughout my whole life I have lived in Adamsville and attended Tri-Valley school district, up until my sophomore year when I began attending Mid-East Zanesville campus. During my sophomore year I explored different careers and instantly fell in love with the Cosmetology program. My junior and senior year I decided to continue my education in Cosmetology. While in my 13 years of schooling I participated in multiple activities including, 7 years of girl scouts, 8 years of cheerleading, 2 years of biddy league softball and, 3 years of dance. While at Mid-East I was in 3 years of student council, 2 years of Skills USA and joined the Drug Free Kids of America Club. My hobbies other than working 2 jobs (Wendys for 3 years and now starting JCpenney Salon) are going mudding/ trial riding, attending truck and tractor pulls, tanning, hanging out with family, and babysitting my little cousin. My future plans are to continue helping people feel confident and comfortable in their natural beauty as a Cosmetologist and helping my hometown when needed. I will be escorted by my boyfriend Briar Wilkins who I happily met my senior year at Mid-East. I am so grateful I was chosen as one of our homecoming attendants to help support and and continue to show what an amazing and loving small town Adamsville is.”
