Adept at fostering student engagement and enhancing learning environments, my time at Rye Ballet Conservatory as a Teacher's Assistant highlighted my ability to maintain classroom discipline and impart ballet techniques effectively. Acclaimed for a calm demeanor and exceptional relationship-building skills, I consistently ensured safety and promoted a culture of respect and diligence.

I am a part of the Original Civic Research and Action program at Mamaroneck High School. I created the idea of starting a life skills course at my school, particularly targeting underclassmen. Three students have joined me, and we have successfully created a life skills crash course that meets every week during lunch. I have received the Lynn Stetson Outstanding Achievement Award from Rye Ballet Conservatory for being an exemplar student and consistently working hard and being an excellent member of the ballet community. I played field hockey for six years and played with upperclassmen since I was in sixth grade. I am graduating a year early to pursue my passion and purpose for ballet at the Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet and will attend Dickinson College for one year.
