I’m stoked and honored to serve as a Commissioner of NHSSM! I’m passionate about medicine and love working with doctors, where I get to learn more about healthcare. Outside of medicine, I love playing lacrosse, which has taught me the importance of teamwork. I also work at the YMCA, where I enjoy connecting with others and giving back to my community. I’m looking forward to bringing my passion, energy, and commitment to NHSSM and making this a great year for everyone!

Inside of school, I take IB Sports Exercise and Health Science, AP classes, and I'm an FCA leader. Outside of school, I love to study at cafes, hangout with friends, and babysit. I'm especially excited about our new mentorship program this year and the sports games that NHSSM will go to! Feel free to reach out!

Mentorship Program
Mentorship Program
Our sports medicine mentorship program is an opportunity for students to deepen their understanding of sports medicine while growing in their KASMA & school community. Kin 1s (the mentees) will be placed in groups with Kin 2s and Kin 3s (the mentors) to form mentor groups. The groups will be decided based on each person's personality, in which everyone in NHSSM will fill out a form based on their qualities. Then, we will match people up with similar traits. Groups will either be 1 mentor to 2 mentees, or 2-3 mentors to 4 mentees. Groups will be able to come up with fun names and go to the sports games, shifts, and hang out outside of school together! The groups will also have to meet before each Kin 1 test to study. These groups are where you can ask your mentors about school, life, and study skills. Throughout the year, each team can earn points, and by the end of each semester, the top groups with the most points will win a prize, experience, or your choice!
Sports Games
Sports Games
This year we will start going to Agoura home games to support our Chargers and promote school spirit. We will go to various Frosh, JV, and Varsity games of all different types of sports. Students will attend these games with their mentor groups and each student must attend 3 games per semester. In total, we will have around 6 games per semester, so students will have plenty of chances to attend. Our games we be super spirited and students can pitch and choose the themes themselves! Get so hyped because there are going to be a lot of fun!
