Outside the classroom

In my free time, I enjoy playing my violin, which I have played for seven years. I also love volunteering whenever I am able to because I enjoy getting to help others. When needed, I also help rescue stray bunnies with the Columbus House Rabbit Society, which are dumped by people who no longer want them. Playing golf is another thing I enjoy to do, and my goal is to play collegiately, so I am currently training very hard to do so.

Volunteering

  • I have helped instruct younger girls not only about keeping themselves healthy through eating habits and exercise, but also how to properly express their emotions and how they are feeling towards others. This helps them create healthy relationships and boundaries with others to grow into powerful young women who will empower the future.
