Summary
I was homeschooled mainly by my mother until I entered 8th grade, when I began taking supplemental classes at Home School Plus. In addition, I played the violin for 8 years, 6 of those in Bay Youth Orchestra of Virginia. Art classes and soccer were also part of my education. I completed my high school education in 2023 and began attending Tidewater Community College in fall of the same year. In spring of 2026, I will complete my associates degree titled General Education, Teacher Prep. Throughout high school and college I have maintained a 4.00 GPA. I plan to pursue a degree in education, possibly special ed. or occupational therapy.
