Bio

"Avanti" means to go forward in Italian. I am passionate about living up to my name, and moving forward with all aspects of life: faith, family, school, sports, and hobbies. I am a National Merit Finalist, an academic merit award given to less than one percent of U.S. high school graduating seniors. Throughout high school I have connected with peers through a shared love for rock climbing, coffee, cooking, and stepping out of one’s comfort zone.
