Julia Haetzel '22 Recruiting Profile

I started playing competitive golf around 3 years ago, beginning to compete in local NTPGA Medalist tournaments. Since then, I began gradually playing larger tournaments and my proudest golf achievement is placing 7th All-State in my freshman year State Championship alongside my Hockaday varsity golf team.  In the future, I hope to play more national events and qualifiers to broaden the competition.

I place a lot of value on my academics also, so I  am challenging myself with AP Calculus AB, AP US History, AP Biology, and Chinese in my junior year. I am also very involved in community service at my school and am a part of multiple programs. My favorite of these is Reading Partners, in which I visit public schools around my area twice a week during my lunch period to tutor children who are under-resourced. I have been a part of this program for two years now and I love seeing the impact that I can have on a child's reading skills after just a year of tutoring. 

In college, I hope to continue playing golf at a competitive level and further my academics significantly, while also continuing to help the community in many different ways.
