Summary

I am a driven, self-directed high school student willing to work hard and/or play hard. I'm curious and have a passion for learning, and I love being outdoors and working with kids. I have strong organizational skills thanks to time in various extracurricular activities and I work well under stress. I'm excited to apply myself in a new environment where I can use these skills and benefit our local community.
