Hi!😊 I'm a high school senior with a passion for adventure, teaching, and learning. I keep active with fencing, tennis, jogging, and hiking and expand my creativity by listening to music, writing stories, and creating digital art. I love exploring fantastical worlds through books and watching crime/legal/paranormal TV series. I strive for academic excellence, and I want to absorb as much information as I possibly can to share my knowledge with others!
