School Pursuits
My Extracurriculars
Some of the most meaningful parts of my education have happened outside the classroom. Clubs, performances, athletics, leadership, and creative projects have challenged me to work with others, solve unfamiliar problems, and continually discover new interests.
Curiosity doesn't belong in one subject.
I've always enjoyed exploring opportunities that allow me to grow in different ways. Whether that means creating something artistic, leading a group, competing, volunteering, or learning an entirely new skill, I value experiences that push me outside my comfort zone.
