My education is the spark lighting the path from where I stand to the horizons I dare to chase.
My Mentors
My teachers, mentors and academic experiences have influenced me in the most positive way possible. Without them I would not have been able to achieve the success of the past 4 years of my high school career. For the past four years, I have maintained a 3.6-3.9 average unweighted GPA while being enrolled in a variety of courses including AP courses, Dual Enrollment and Advanced/ Accelerated arts classes. Additionally, I am honored to be a member of Clayton High School’s National Honors Society. I have been playing the violin since the age of two and participated in practice through private groups, as well as the advanced group at my school which has proceeded to MMEA for the past 5 years. I am a member of Tri-State Music Society, Buskers club, School board student advisory council, Pickleball club, and the Feminine Collective at my school Clayton High School. During the summer of 2024, I was selected to participate in Girls Missouri State where I was appointed as a Municipal Judge by my peers. I have over 725 hours of community service from volunteering at Ritenour Co-Care Food pantry, SLU Campus Kitchen, STL Diaper Bank, Mary Ryder Home, and the 22nd Judicial Circuit Court. In addition, I played on the school’s tennis team, and have been the captain of the varsity lacrosse team. I dedicate these accomplishments not only to my hard work, but my parents, grandparents, teachers, coaches, and mentors who have supported me along the way.
What Lies Ahead
My educational experiences have equipped me with the skills, discipline, and perspective needed to embrace the opportunities and responsibilities that lie ahead. Through academic challenges, I have developed critical thinking and problem-solving abilities, while collaborative projects have strengthened my communication and teamwork skills. These experiences have not only prepared me for future endeavors but have also instilled a sense of confidence and resilience to tackle new challenges with enthusiasm and determination.
