Skills
- Adaptability – I transferred to a new high school my junior year and not only did I adjust quickly to a very new and different environment but have thrived and taken on new sports Despite the challenges of starting over socially and academically, I have maintained my strong grades
- Communication – I pride myself in my communication skills My parents have always instilled me to “use my words” In this world of texting and social media – I feel like I have the gift of being able to walk into a room and be able to look at people in the eye and be able to hold a conversation
- Time Management – Balancing a very rigorous academic and sports schedule, part-time work at Raising Cane's and family responsibilities has taught me to stay organized, plan ahead and manage my time effectively without letting anything fall behind and still be able to sneak in reading a good book or two (or three)
- Goal-oriented - I have had high expectations and standards for myself for as long as I can remember and I still deeply value that quality to this day I make sure to always do my best and do everything in my power to make sure the high aspirations I have had since I was little turn into my reality
