Notable School and Community Activities:

  • I have been playing flute since I was eleven and have had the opportunity to also
    perform on piccolo and alto flute in various concert bands. I also have been
    selected as a member of the District 14 honor band for my eighth grade and
    junior year.
  • I have accumulated 160+ hours across multiple Dental offices and competed in
    Dental Assisting.
  • I have a huge CD collection gifted to me by my awesome dad. My favorite bands
    include Red Hot Chili Peppers, Led Zeppelin, Pearl Jam, and Soundgarden!
  • I had the opportunity to be a Blood Cancer United student visionary leading a
    team in Cincinnati to raise funds and advocate for patient support.
  • An activity that helps me de-stress after a long day is to go home, and put on a vinyl record, and listen to some music. I have a record player with a decent sized collection of records (that is growing daily!). I really enjoy 70’s rock like Hall and Oates and Billy Joel.

Notable HOSA Activities and Accomplishments:

  • This is my third year in HOSA! I have competed in Dental Terminology and
    Dental Science and have qualified for state all three years.
  • I serve my chapter as HOSA Vice President.
