Summary

Hello, I'm Samantha Azelby, a passionate individual driven by community involvement and curiosity for global exploration. During my high school years, I achieved academic excellence with a 3.8 GPA and actively participated in the National Honor Society while dedicating substantial time to volunteering. Following graduation, I decided to embark on a gap semester, seizing the opportunity to volunteer across diverse countries. These experiences enriched my life significantly, providing invaluable insights and a broader worldview. As a two-year high school soccer team captain and a four-year varsity lacrosse player, I honed my leadership skills, emphasizing the value of hard work and teamwork. My strong social skills and outgoing nature naturally enable me to be a positive influence. I thrive in social environments, effortlessly building connections with people around me. As I prepare to begin my college journey at the University of San Diego in the spring, I bring with me a wealth of diverse experiences, a global perspective, and a consistent record of academic success, leadership, and active community engagement.
