About
I have spent my first two years of high school at Maize South High School; in those two years, I obtained a 4.0 GPA. After my sophomore year, I was a accepted into the Kansas Academy of Mathematics and Science (KAMS) at Fort Hays State University and will spend my junior and senior year of high school there amongst college students. My current sending high school is Wichita Northwest High school while I attend Fort Hays.

Honors and awards
-
honor roll
I have obtained a 4.0 GPA throughout the entirety of my high school career. When I attended Maize South, I received their A honor roll. Also, in my first semester at Fort Hays State, I received their Deans Honor Roll for my GPA.
Goals and interests
- Career goal
I plan on becoming a physical therapist after school. After KAMS, I plan on going to Kansas State University and major in Kinesiology as my undergraduate degree, then go to Wichita State University and get a doctorate in physical therapy. I intend on practicing in the Wichita area, or at least the mid-west area, and specialize in sports recovery.
- Graduate school interests
I am interested in going to Wichita State University after I get my undergraduate in Kinesiology. There are only three universities in Kansas that offer this doctorate, Wichita State being one of them. I chose this school primarily because it is a close proximity to my house, but also because it has a record of good education for its students.
- Outside the classroom
I spend a large portion of my time doing school work, but in my free time I enjoy training for powerlifting. I started training in February of 2021, started competing in March of 2022, and have obtained three state records under the USAPL corporation. I also have played the flute for approximately six years, playing for the Maize district when I attended their schools.
