Pushing myself academically, in addition to participating in various clubs and sports teams, has helped me forge countless long-lasting connections and experiences. Within all of the ups and downs that high school has brought me, I’ve continually persevered, finding myself and embracing my many newfound values and passions that I will apply throughout my life."

Career Aspirations: In whatever career I pursue, my primary goal is to help people. As I've grown older, I've come to take both my own and others' mental health very seriously. I have always been, and will continue to be, someone who strives for the best for everyone and sees the best in everyone. Majoring in psychology is my first step into pursuing this goal.
