I am a motivated and dedicated individual with a passion for helping people. Beginning in the fall of 2025, I will attend the University of Scranton to pursue my Bachelor of Science in Nursing. In the long term, I plan to further my education as a nurse anesthetist. In high school, I was deeply involved in my school community through clubs, activities, and leadership. I've been Co-President of ASL Club, Co-President of Key Club, Executive Board Member of Math League, and Community Outreach Officer of Pre-Med Club. I also gained membership in the following honor societies: National Honor Society, National Math Honor Society, National Science Honor Society, and National Social Studies Honor Society. In addition to these activities, I maintained a 4.0 GPA and graduated as class salutatorian, a reflection of my strong work ethic and commitment to excellence. Outside of academics, tennis has also played a meaningful role in my personal growth, teaching me the value of grit, creative problem-solving, and self-reliance. These are qualities I strive to carry with me in all areas of my life. My faith and family are at the core of who I am. This keeps me motivated, grounded, and focused on becoming the best version of myself. I am especially inspired by my parents, whose perseverance and hard work have made my pursuit of a higher education possible. I hope to honor their efforts by minimizing the financial burden of my long academic journey through scholarships. I am truly grateful for every opportunity that brings me closer to achieving this goal.
