I was about 7 years old when I first picked up the stick. As a 7th grader, I was pulled up to the JV lacrosse team at Rocky Point. Since I started playing lacrosse, I've always been able to play any position asked of me. In the 8th grade, I was named the Captain of both my Basketball and Volleyball teams. As a freshman in high school, I was invited to the Brine National tournament, the Northstar Recruiting Camp, FLG Premier Showcase and the Fab Frosh. Also, I received the award for 'most outstanding defense' at the Nike Lacrosse Camp at Adelphi. This year, I am taking AP World History, Accelerated Spanish, Honors Earth Science and Honors Geometry. I became a part of the National Junior Honor Society in the 8th grade and was nominated for the Student Ambassador Program in 6th. I take part in the fundraiser that Team Elevate runs called Christmas Magic. We raise money then are assigned to buy certain gifts for certain children. Last year, my family and I set up a table at All Star Arena in Port Jeff, where I play in a Winter league with Rocky Point. We raised about $200 and were able to buy all of the toys for the young child and had a little extra to spend on others! I am a part of the Athletes Helping Athletes program, Leaders Club, and helped tm classmates build our homecoming float at my High School!
