Bio

I am a 17 year old senior at Lafayette High School in Williamsburg VA. I come from a family of five with my parents, brother and sister. I have a strong work ethic, which can be seen in my course load, my extracurricular activities and my work history. I have maintained a 3.8 GPA with a full course load in AP and Honors courses focused on math and science as I plan to attend George Mason University for an engineering degree starting next August. I have swam for 11 years at club and varsity levels, with practices 6 days a week for two to four hours a day for club and 4 additional practices for high school. I was the team captain for high school during the 2025-26 season, leading my team to a VHSL Class 4 state championship. I compete at the national level with my club team, Williamsburg Aquatic Club. I am currently ranked 31st in the state of Virginia and 598th in the USA for class of 2026. I have committed to swim at the NCAA Division one level for George Mason University. At the age of 11, I started my own lawn mowing service in my neighborhood, and continue it to this day, servicing approximately 6 yards a week. I also work at Kilwins of Williamsburg, 5-10 hours a week during the school year, and 20-30 a week during the summer. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, playing airsoft, mountain biking, and spending time outdoors. I assist with middle school faith formation at St. Bede's Catholic Church and enjoy playing Cello for the music ministry.
