Achievements
Teen of Impact
As a member of the American Heart Association’s Teen of Impact program, a national campaign that empowers teens to raise awareness and funds for heart health initiatives, I raised $7,000 to support life-saving research and community programs. I was the only teen invited to speak on a panel about the importance of cardiovascular wellness and also created interview questions and hosted a mini “Tiny Mic” series featuring doctors from the local hospital, helping to educate the community and engage peers in meaningful conversations about heart health.
She Nailed It
As a participant in Habitat for Humanity’s She Nailed It competition, a community initiative where teams compete in a speed hammering challenge to raise funds for affordable housing, I was part of the only team featuring teen participants alongside my mom and another mother-daughter pair. Together, our team raised $1,500 to support Habitat for Humanity’s mission, demonstrating teamwork, creativity, and a commitment to giving back to the community.
Student of the Month
I was honored as Student of the Month for February 2025, nominated by Mr. Seidick, my Honors Civics and Government teacher. He recognized me for consistently impressing with my work, noting that I “always show new and innovative ways to express [my] views in an intelligent and thoughtful manner.” This recognition reflects my dedication to academic excellence, creative thinking, and thoughtful engagement in the classroom.
