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 volunteered at HMEA my senior year, a day habilitation center for adults with developmental disabilities. Also, every September

I volunteer at Surfer’s Healing, a day-long surfing camp for children with autism. 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.
