Extra-curricular Activities: I was one of the editors for the yearbook, and assistant editor of the school newspaper. I also danced on a competitive team throughout high school. On the weekends I waitressed at a local restaurant. Community Service: In 8th grade, I founded my own charity organization “Second Chance Dance” to collect gently used dance costumes and donate them to studios in need. I also partnered with a similar organization, Traveling Tutus, and did ambassador work for them all 4 years of high school.

“Easygoing, creative, inquisitive”
International Experience: After my senior year of high-school I took a gap year and got to vacation to Italy in the summer, visiting Rome, Florence, and the Amalfi Coast. In the fall I lived in Madrid, Spain, with a host family and attended an immersive language school for 2 and a half months. During my time there I visited Valencia, Santander, Seville, and also returned to Florence on a solo trip. I returned to Madrid in late February as an au pair for a different family but was only able to stay for about 3 weeks before I had to leave unexpectedly due to the pandemic. Personal Interests/Hobbies: I love to dance and come up with my own choreography. When I’m feeling especially creative, I like to draw and/or paint. I love discovering new music and books on interesting topics, then making my circle of friends and family read them as well whether they like it or not. Three Words to Describe Herself: Easygoing, creative, inquisitive. Fun Fact from Catie Mae: When I was in middle-school, I met Buddy from the Cake Boss.
