What activities do you participate in?

I am a member of the Carroll High School Marching Band, Symphonic Band, Jazz Bands, and Film Club.

What's your favorite part of being a student at Carroll?

It has to be the opportunities that I’m given here. It’s never too late to get involved at Carroll. Whether you’re an incoming Freshman or a second semester Senior, there is always a welcoming environment waiting for you. I encourage everyone to get out of their comfort zone at least once during their time at Carroll.

What should school “do” for you?

School should set me up for success. It should provide an environment that feels safe and comfortable -- a perfect balance between working and socializing.

What’s a lesson you learned when you overcame a difficult obstacle?

For the first quarter of my Junior year, I attended online public school due to Covid. I went into it with an open mind, but it just didn’t compare. By the time I finally came back to Carroll, I had learned the importance of community and never to take it for granted.

What’s your biggest dream in life?

Ultimately, I’d like to end up doing something creative, something that I can really pour myself into and be proud of the results like writing songs or filming movies. 

How do you like spending your free time?

I love spending my free time playing instruments with my friends, going to the gym, and listening to music.
