I was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, and have been at Drew Charter School since Kindergarten. Throughout my time at Drew, I’ve learned a lot from my teachers and Respectables, who have guided and supported me over the years. My favorite subject is science because I enjoy the idea that there can be multiple answers to one outcome, which keeps me curious and engaged. I have played soccer for 15 years and am a member of the school team, which has taught me valuable lessons about teamwork and leadership. In addition to soccer, I have been playing the cello for 10 years, which has helped me develop a deeper appreciation for music. 

I plan to major in sports medicine or kinesiology at a university and aim to earn a Doctorate in Physical Therapy. I’ve developed a strong interest in the human body and self-healing methods through my experiences in sports and my job at One Point Physical Therapy, which have deepened my passion for helping others recover and perform at their best. My experience as a athlete has taught me the importance of physical fitness, injury prevention, and rehabilitation, which aligns perfectly with my career goals. I’m considering attending colleges such as  Mercer University, Georgia Southern, Penn State, and the University of South Carolina because they offer strong programs in sports medicine and physical therapy.
