ABOUT
As a high school senior starting at the University of South Florida in the fall, I am passionate about sports medicine, athletic training, and being a good role model for young athletes. I am dedicated to excelling in my academic pursuits and contributing to the field of sports medicine.
SKILLS & EXPERTISE
- In addition to my deep appreciation for sports medicine and athletic training, I have spent two years on an obstacle course racing team, finishing multiple courses such as Spartan Race (Spartan Trifecta in one weekend), Savage Race (multiple races and 1st in my age group for time), and Tough Mudder.
- I work for a physical therapy clinic where I work one-on-one with patients while learning from the PT, as well as spending weekends volunteering at events such as Broadway shows and sports events as a PT aide.
- With extensive time spent as a pre-professional ballet dancer, multiple years of volleyball and horseback riding, and a love of the outdoors, I am passionate about helping people stay healthy in their athletic pursuits.

- Throughout my academic journey, I have sought to push myself through taking Advanced Placement classes and Dual Credit college classes. At the same time, I have enjoyed the time I spend in the training room, on the field, in a clinic, or on an obstacle course with my team. I have received honors from teachers recognizing my hard work and pursuit of academic excellence.
- As someone who has experienced public school, homeschooling, and private school, I am keenly aware of how many different ways there are to study something. I also have a deep understanding of how I function best in the academic world, thanks to my exposure to so many styles.
