What activities do you participate in?

I compete in ice skating as a member of the United States Figure Skating Association outside of school. I compete both in individual freestyle and on a qualifying Intermediate level synchronized skating team with the Miami Skating Academy out of Oxford, OH.   I am a Senior level Girl Scout, and I also volunteer as a certified Learn to Skate Instructor at South Metro Ice Arena and as an usher for Dayton Live; if you attend an event at the Schuster Center, you may see me as a smiling face ready to help you find your seat!

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

My favorite part of being a student at Carroll is that it has a great community. Whenever you need something there is usually at least one person who is willing to help, and they are also very understanding.

What should school “do” for you?

I believe school should help us to further our education and grow our curiosity and love for subjects we enjoy.

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

I learned that decisions can be life-changing and that speaking up is never a question, but an answer.

What’s your biggest dream in life?

I would like to be part of Team USA for the figure skating Olympics and be the first person to land a Quin jump (five rotations in the air).

How do you like spending your free time?

I enjoy watching movies with my family, drawing, and figure skating.
