I have always been a hard working athlete and student. I put 100% in everything that I do. I began playing lacrosse at 5 years old. I immediately knew lacrosse was for me when I picked up a stick for the first time. It was not until 3rd grade that I began playing goalie. After one game, I decided it was the position for me. I think the amount of independence you have as a goalie with still having the support of a team is what drew me to this position.

I have now been playing as a goalie for 7 years. I made varsity lacrosse as a freshman this past year as well as varsity tennis. As a goalie I pride myself in my communication skills and ability to direct the defense, my clears, my aggressiveness, and my attitude. I have experienced both failure and success while playing lacrosse and what sets me apart from everyone else is that I've always held a positive attitude. As a goalie, it is very easy to let failure affect how you play whether its a bad clear or the amount of goals you let it. What sets me apart from other players is that I don't let failure control me. I use failure as motivation to be successful.

Other than lacrosse, I grew up playing multiple sports such as swimming, ice hockey, and tennis. Today, I play both lacrosse and tennis at a highly competitive level. Although I am an athlete, I would consider myself as a very well-rounded person. I participate in the arts at my school. I am a member of the Upper School Chorus as well as a member of the Chamber A cappella chorus. At school I participate in the Think Pink Club as well as tour guides and youngdems.

My academic interests include Honors US/European history, math, and science. In college, I would like to further my interests by participating in political science, pre-law, and history. Youngdems has influenced me to become a political and social injustice activist within my school and outside community.
