I’m a high school student at Bellarmine College Preparatory who enjoys hands-on learning, teamwork, and service. As a competitive field hockey goalkeeper, including time on the U.S. U18 National Team, I’ve learned to stay calm under pressure and communicate clearly in challenging situations. Outside of athletics, I’m involved in school leadership, community service, and healthcare volunteering, including mentoring neurodiverse chidren, and supporting patient-facing hospital operations. I’m also interested in healthcare advocacy and have worked on mental health awareness initiatives.
