I am constantly striving for new experiences and knowledge, with curiosity of the natural world being what interests me, and influences my everyday tasks. I am a senior in high school at River Valley High School, while attending the University of Rio Grande/Rio Grande Community College as a CCP student. I want to continue my academic career through the University of Rio Grande because I believe this institution can offer what I need academically to succeed in the future. I can and will use my leadership and communication skills that I have gained through my job, clubs, and various leadership roles that I have been a part of, and implement these skills throughout my academic endeavor.
