Summary
I am a current first-year Biology student with a minor in Exercise and Sport Science at the University of Chapel Hill. I'm from Charlotte, North Carolina, where I graduated from Weddington High School. There, I finished with a 4.52 GPA, which earned me a class rank in the top 10% of my class. I played football all four years, and during both of my two years on the varsity team, I was named to the All-Academic Team. Playing football taught me to be tough in difficult situations, to communicate in high-pressure environments, to be resilient, and to take and accept criticism.
