-Peer buddies: This is a class that I took my junior and senior year. It is an on campus course that allows students (peers) to assist special needs students in their elective courses. Peers take their assigned student to any elective that they choose and attend the class with them every day. This program allows students to built friendships and connections in a very meaningful way. This class made a huge impact on me while in high school.

I was nominated to be in the homecoming court my senior year by the volleyball team. I played school volleyball for all 4 years and spent 3 years on varsity. I was awarded MVP for the 2023 school volleyball year and was captain my senior year. I was also given the All-Centex honorable mention through Austin American-Statesman. All-Centex is awarded to selected athletes, recognizing them as top athletes in the Austin area. I played club volleyball 5 years competitively at several clubs, with my last 2 years with Austin Performance. I competing on national teams for all 5 years, traveling out of state. I also served as team captain for all 5 years.

I have numerous community service hours through my high school volleyball program. I helped coach, ref, and run tournaments for all 4 years. I also helped with Special Olympics through Georgetown High School. This is a yearly-one day event that gives Georgetown students with special needs an opportunity to compete in sports. As a peer buddy, I worked this event 2 years, helping all special needs students from elementary through high school compete in the event.
