Ryleigh Middleton
Summary
I am currently at The University of Arizona studying Criminal Justice with a minor in chemistry. I currently was a member of the class of 2024 at Erie HS. While in high school I was a four-year Varsity Dancer, a seven-year competitive Performing Arts Academy Dancer, and a high-achieving student. I am passionate about volunteering and being part of my local community where I can make a difference in and out of school. I have taken six AP Classes and remained on the honor roll for six semesters of High School while maintaining a weighted 4.0 GPA. With being on both elite dance teams, and a student keeping a high GPA shows that I am dedicated to everything that I do. Having to juggle time between school and dance has taught me time management, efficiency, and the need for strong communication skills.
