Summary
I'm currently a sophomore at Hathaway Brown School who enjoys collaborating with others and experiencing things through different perspectives. I work well with others in professional settings by staying organized and having a clear idea of our goals. I really value teamwork because I think that when people work together as a team, they can accomplish far more than what one person could. I also love helping people because I truly believe that one small act of kindness can make someone else's day. Outside of school, I enjoy playing tennis, participating in speech and debate, reading historical fiction, and spending time with my dog.
