About

A little about me

I am seventeen years old, and I love working hard and making the most out of my opportunities. When I’m given the chance to do something, I make sure I give it 110%. Two things I am extremely proud of are winning the spirit award for my school's lacrosse team and the work I’ve done at college summer programs in forensics and medicine over the past three years. Winning the spirit award meant a lot to me because I was recognized not only for my contributions to the team, but also for the way I treated people. While I wasn’t the best athlete on the team, I always did my best to rally everyone through hard games and practices and lead the younger kids on the team.

The programs I did at Boston College, Tufts, and Northeastern are proud moments for me because I got over my fears and was able to make the most of the opportunities they offered. I made sutures, filled cavities, and analyzed a crime scene — I even attended an autopsy! I became CPR certified and did lab work. I came out of each one of these experiences more mature and with a new sense of confidence.

Boxing

In the gym

Boxing is one of the activities I care about — a few training moments from the gym. I started at age 3 and still train weekly with my parents and older brother, with our trainer, Niko, a professional kickboxing champion.
