My parents have always said that I have an athletic gift from a young age. From balancing on my dads hand at just 2 years old, to climbing 40 foot maples trees at 4 years old. I have always had this energetic flame to me that I use during all the sports I've done and throughout my school achievements. When I was younger I won, for 3 years in a row, the Connecticut Writers Competition for my writing for my grade. I have been playing sports my whole life and been on multiple regular and travel sports teams including gymnastics, softball, basketball, soccer, lacrosse, field hockey, skiing and some snowboarding. Unfortunately, during tryouts for HS lax I shredded my ankle, tearing multiple tendons and a ligament forcing me to miss most of the season. Through hard work and a lot of physical therapy, I was lucky enough to play in a few games at the end of the season. Even though I was injured, I still went to every practice rain or shine. I supported my team and I even proved to myself that I am a dedicated player who wants to learn and succeed at the best of her ability. In addition, I made honor role this year, which my family and I were very proud of. Lacrosse is something that has been a huge part of me since second grade and is still such a big part of who I am. Through the ups and the downs of my life, lacrosse has always been that one place that I can rely on to make that energetic flame come to life.
