2nd Place Science Olympiad

I participated in two events at Science Olympiad, Code Busters and Rocks and Minerals, and placed 2nd in both events in competitions with other regional schools.

Career goal: Currently, I'm working towards an LPN diploma in hopes of becoming a part of the medical field someday. For my end goal, I hope to become a doctor, specifically a pediatric surgeon, in my future.
Graduate school interests: My dream colleges would include Northwestern University and Columbia University but I would be honored to attend UW Madison and New York University as well.
Outside the classroom: When I'm free I love to build jigsaw puzzles. I find the process of building puzzles very fun and captivating and I like to glue and hang my finished puzzles on my wall. I also enjoy baking and cooking in my free time. I like to experiment with different foods and recipes and even though it doesn't always turn out good, it's always entertaining to try.

As part of the ICARE Unit at Mayo Clinic, I visited patients who were out of surgery and provided help to them in any way I can, even if it was just to sit and talk to them. I also, assisted nursing staff in tasks that I was able to in order to help with the staff shortage.
