I've had the privilege of achieving some remarkable milestones throughout my journey. I’m a 4x Track and Field Champion, which has been one of my proudest accomplishments. Winning that title four times speaks to my dedication and perseverance—staying at the top of my game over multiple seasons wasn’t easy, but it was incredibly rewarding. It takes a lot of hard work, discipline, and mental focus to reach that level, and I'm grateful for every moment of it.

I was also honored to be named 4x All-City, which recognizes me as a standout in my city, whether in sports, academics, or extracurriculars. It’s a reflection of my commitment to excellence and my ability to maintain consistent high performance over time.

Music has been another major part of my life, and being part of the All-City Orchestra was a huge highlight. It taught me the value of teamwork and discipline in a completely different way. Mastering an instrument and contributing to such an ensemble required focus, patience, and the ability to collaborate with other talented individuals, which I’ll always carry with me.

One of the most impactful programs I was fortunate enough to participate in was the Midnight Golf Program. Being a Midnight Golf Graduate gave me more than just academic or athletic skills—it helped me develop essential life skills, like financial literacy, networking, and career readiness. I learned how to be a better leader, communicator, and person, which set me up for future success beyond just school or sports.

Finally, I made the Honor Roll during college, which meant a lot to me. Balancing academics with all my extracurricular activities was challenging, but it was also incredibly rewarding. It taught me time management, discipline, and the importance of setting high standards for myself in everything I do.
