I have played lacrosse since second grade and play for Team Elevate Blue and Cold Spring Harbor Varsity High School. I was a starter as a sophomore for my varsity high school team and this year we won the Long Island Class Championship Class D. In addition to lacrosse, I play soccer for a travel team and my high school team. During the winter, I figure skate and this year I plan to play basketball for my high school team.

I currently have a 3.94 unweighted GPA (4.19 weighted GPA) and last year took 3 AP classes (Human Geography, Biology, and European History) and four honors classes (Spanish, Algebra 2, English, Research). Next year I plan to take four AP classes (US History, Language, Physics, Computer Science) and two honors classes (Spanish, Pre-calculus) while continuing my research. My research project this year (The Effects of Blue Light on Fruit Flies) placed 3rd in the Long Island Science Congress competition. This summer I took a credited 2-week class at John Hopkins on Neurobiology. For extracurricular activities, I am on the Debate team and involved with Model UN, Student Council, Medical Professionals club, and Women in Science and Engineering.

For volunteer work, during the school year I worked at a thrift store that helps support a camp for less fortunate girls. I also tutored children in various subjects. This summer I was a volunteer at Surfers Way, a program that helps disabled people learn to surf, and Horse-Ability, which is a camp for disabled children. I also volunteered at my childhood summer camp as a lifeguard and taught children how to swim.
