During my time at Leonardtown High School and the James A. Forrest Career and Technology Center, I have developed a strong foundation in engineering, technical problem-solving, and analytical thinking. While my early interests were rooted in engineering and aerospace, my experiences over time have expanded my focus toward finance, leadership, and decision-making roles that combine technical understanding with business strategy.
I am currently a senior in high school and expect to graduate with a Certificate of Excellence from the JFCTC Engineering program. Following graduation, I plan to attend a four-year university to study finance while participating in either Marine or Air Force ROTC. Through ROTC and continued academic development, I aim to build leadership skills, discipline, and real-world experience that will support long-term career growth in service-oriented, aviation-adjacent, or financial fields.
My academic preparation reflects this balance of rigor and adaptability. By graduation, I will have completed AP Biology, AP Calculus, AP Language, AP World History, and AP Seminar, in addition to honors-level coursework in calculus and chemistry. I am also involved in organizations such as the National Technical Honor Society, Key Club, and student leadership programs that emphasize service and responsibility.
Athletics and community involvement have played a central role in shaping my character. I have played soccer since early childhood and have competed at the varsity level throughout high school, as well as on a nationally competitive travel team. These experiences have strengthened my leadership, communication, and time-management skills while reinforcing the importance of teamwork and accountability.
Above all, my personal values guide my goals and decisions. My faith has become an important source of motivation and perspective, especially during challenging periods in my life. It has helped shape my sense of gratitude, discipline, and respect for others, and continues to influence how I approach leadership, service, and long-term goals.
