Throughout high school, I consistently earned a place on the Honor Roll during my freshman through senior years and was recognized as an Honors English Student for three consecutive years. I received the Student Recognition Award in both my junior and senior years and took on advanced coursework as an AP U.S. History student in 2023–2024 and AP Government student in 2024–2025. As a leader, I served as Senior Class President in my final year and held the position of Vice President of Student Council for two years. I was also a dedicated varsity athlete in cross country and track all four years, earning second place overall at the 2022 State Cross Country Meet. My academic and creative achievements include winning the Charlie Russell Essay Contest in 2018, placing first in a statewide essay competition in 2021—where I was honored with the author’s personal signature—and participating in the Women’s STEAM Deciding Project in 2022.
