As a young high school senior, incoming college freshman, my goals and ambitions are always changing. My aspirations include attending a school that has my major, biology (pre medicine), working hard and being successful academically so I can graduate and have a professional job I enjoy. I also want to compete for that school as part of their cross country/ Track team. I have been running with competitive teams for a majority of my life, starting when I was 8. It has kept me disciplined and focused and always with a greater purpose. I have been fortunate enough to travel and compete with my youth club USATF team for several years, even earning two National team championships and one second place. And I have been on a state winning high school cross country team for my high school career. I am a good team leader and have a very strong work ethic. I'm not afraid of the pain of running. I have learned to "embrace the pain of racing." I am a team player and believe in always running for your teammates. One of our club team mottos is AS ONE. I have tried to bring that to my high school running career. I am always aspiring to be a better version of myself in all things I do.
