I started playing "soft toss" lacrosse when I was 6 years old and began club play in 6th grade for T3 Elite. I play defense and have worked hard to play my way up to the 2020 Black team. I love the way a defensive unit must work together and have each other's backs to be effective, and I love digging out the ground ball that can turn a game around. I play lacrosse at Voorhees High School and have started every game since my freshman year. This year we were the "suprise" team, finishing 2nd in our conference. It wasn't a surprise to us. We believed in ourselves. I play primarily defense in high school but also play wherever coach needs me to get a job done. I made Second Team All Conference my sophomore year. I also play on the JV basketball team. In addition, I do strength and speed conditioning outside of my structured team activities, and my trainer Shawn is one of my favorite people because he makes me laugh and convinces me I love to work on vertical jumps!

I take a demanding academic curriculum so I am constantly balancing my academic and athletic activities. I guess that is good preparation for what I will face in college. I take mostly Honors courses, and this year have AP Chemistry as well. I have made Honor Roll every semester I have been in high school and last year even made High Honor Roll with straight A's. My school work is very important to me. I have taken courses in our preschool education program at the high school since freshman year, and this year I was selected for an independent study.

Outside of sports and academics, I am the Vice President of the Ocean Conservation Club at Voorhees. We educate the school population about the importance of keeping our oceans clean and healthy and raise money to support conservation efforts. I also volunteer at my church teaching religious education classes for elementary-aged students. At home, I am fourth out of five kids, but just by two minutes since the fifth is my twin sister! I live in a rural area of New Jersey where I have Black Bear, turkeys, foxes, and all kinds of animals in my backyard.
