I'm a junior at Arlington Tech Governor's STEM Academy, a school where science, technology, and hands-on application are built into every day. My interests pull me in a lot of directions but the common thread is that I pursue each one fully, whether that means going deeper underwater, pushing higher in the air, or running harder on the field.

SCUBA diving is where I've invested the most energy outside the classroom. Starting with my Junior Open Water certification, I've worked through ten PADI qualifications and earned my Rescue Diver rating, one of the most technically and mentally demanding certifications a junior diver can hold. As President of the SCUBA Club, I help fellow students discover the underwater world and take dive safety seriously.

Aviation is another strong interest. In Aviation I at Arlington Tech, I completed simulator training and flew a Piper Archer DX, one of the most memorable experiences of my high school career. I also compete in Ultimate Frisbee with YULA across both fall and spring seasons, playing as a Handler and Cutter across seven seasons of tournament play.

Outside of school and sports, I work at Harris Teeter and volunteer with AFAC and the National Geographic Community Clean-Up. Protecting the environment, especially the ocean, matters deeply to me, and I try to make that visible in how I show up every day.
