As of September 2024 I am a proud member of the Navy Sea Cadets. Since I have joined I have graduated recruit orientation (boot camp) in December 2024 and I am an official Navy Sea Cadet. I have had some of the best life trainings and opportunities such Aviation Training and Overnight Field Exercise Training. My upcoming trainings are April 12 Swim Qual, April 17 Police Training and summer training for one week at Camp Pendleton in Oceanside, Ca. Since I have joined the Cadets I have learned the values of honor,respect, commitment and service. My goal is to commit to this program until I graduate high school and plan to join the military. Going into the military this program gives me the opportunity to grow and rank higher.

2022 to present I enjoy playing fast pitch softball. When I first started I have never played before. My previous position was right field. Currently I play center and left field. Softball has taught me how to respect my teammates and opponents, be a team player, build relationships with my peers, accept constructive criticism, follow direction, communicate and strive to be a better player.

I also enjoy baking. It's therapy for me. Sometimes I have pop sales to earn money. Baking has help me build organizational skills, creativity, social skills and financial management.
