Living in southern Arizona with her three brothers, she’s always outside looking for cool rocks, bugs, or animals. She loves spotting wildlife and dreams of helping an injured animal one day. For her, nature is full of surprises, and every walk feels like an adventure. It’s her favorite place to be—wild, fun, and full of life.
Kozy’s favorite animal is the flamingo because they’re pink—her favorite color! She’s loved them ever since she saw them at the zoo as a little kid. She was amazed to learn that flamingos are actually white, but they turn pink because of the food they eat. That fun fact stuck with her, and now she spots flamingos everywhere—in books, toys, and even clothes. They’re fun, unique, and just like Kozy, they stand out in the best way.
Right now, Kozy’s favorite outdoor activity is horseback riding. She rides twice a week and recently moved up to full-sized horses after starting out on ponies. She’s super proud of that! Riding gives her a sense of freedom and confidence, and she loves bonding with the horses. It’s something she looks forward to every week, and she’s always excited to learn new things and improve her skills. Being around horses makes her feel strong and happy.
