Cloey Dills

A senior at Hooks High School, Cloey Dills describes herself as a smart and very compassionate person. “I care deeply for others,” Cloey says. “My dream job is to either be an ultrasound tech or in the field of radiology. I want to be able to help people and be able to make an impact on their lives. I also think it is a job I would enjoy for the rest of my life because you learn all sorts of things about the body.”

Cloey is the daughter of David Dills and Alyssa Gilbreath. Cloey’s mom, Alyssa, is her biggest supporter and one she can always count on no matter what. “I look up to my mom because I know she will always be there for me. She pushes me to be my best, and I am so thankful for her. She is my biggest motivator.” Cloey explains. Cloey’s mom piqued Cloey’s interest in the Debbie Brower Photography Model Program. “I had so much fun, and I am thankful for the opportunity I was given,” Cloey says.

In school, Cloey is involved in the National Honor Society, Student Council, Mu Alpha Theta, Gifted and Talented, and Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Outside school, she enjoys participating in the Myrtle Springs youth group, going to town with her friends, listening to music, and playing pickleball. However, Cloey was not always this outgoing and involved. “An accomplishment I am proud of is how, throughout my high school years, I have stepped outside of my comfort zone a little more and started to become more involved. I became less shy and anxious. I now enjoy doing certain things and actually being myself without worrying about everyone else and what they think,” Cloey says.

One of Cloey’s favorite books is “It Ends With Us” by Colleen Hoover. She likes it because it dives deep into complex relationships and emotions that are relatable, and it keeps her interested. In five years, Cloey hopes to finish college and start her dream job.
