Academic Highlights: 

Clubs:

– Student Council

– Health Careers Club

– SADD (students against destructive decisions)

Inducted into the National Honors Society as a sophomore.

American Legion Voice of Democracy Contest – 2nd place in Annville High School

Distinguished Honor Roll throughout freshman and sophomore years.

Favorite HS class to date and why: My favorite HS class is Algebra 2 because I like having a set of equations and plugging numbers in. I like that I can mathematically prove that I have the right answer. In most other classes you can explain how you got the correct answer, but with math you can prove it and there’s no indecisiveness.

I am interested in the following college major(s): 

Healthcare Majors

Career aspirations: Physician Assistant

My ideal college coach would be: I desire a coach that will push and motivate me to always keep improving, but I also want them to be compassionate and understanding if I have an injury or my major requires me to complete a clinical rotation. I want to build a positive relationship with them and be able to trust them with my training.

Most important factors I will consider when choosing a college:

– Have my academic major

– Be the right fit in terms of size of school and class size

– Be at a safe and comfortable location

– I will be able to run for the college and have a positive relationship with the coach and my teammates

Currently interested in learning more about the following programs:

– Furman University

– Villanova University

– Penn State University

– Boston College

– University of Michigan

– University of Colorado at Boulder
