About
Throughout high school, I have worked hard to balance my academics with my extracurricular activities. I am proud to have completed two years of English Honors in my freshman and sophomore years, which helped me develop strong critical thinking and writing skills. Alongside my classes, I committed myself to my school community by performing in the Girls Choir during my freshman year and Varsity Choir during my sophomore year. I look forward to bringing this same dedication and work ethic to the honor society.

- Graduate school interests
As a high school student, my immediate focus is on earning my Bachelor's degree in physiology. However, because I am interested in the sciences, I am open to exploring graduate research opportunities or advanced degree programs as I progress through college.
- Outside the classroom
I am a very creative, social, and caring person, and my love for people is exactly where my desire to help others comes from. In my free time, I love staying involved with my family and church community, singing, and taking road trips to explore new places through domestic travel. I also really enjoy reading about a lot of different things, especially marine biology and Cnidariology. On the creative side, I love making crafts like bracelets, and I always try to use recycled materials whenever I can.
