Additional information

This summer I volunteered at Morristown Hospital (50-hour commitment/requirement- Summer 2026) and will continue volunteering this winter. I completed my Silver Award- Project Title: Creating a Unique Initiative To Improve Literacy Rates of Underprivileged Children: A Collaboration with the CUMC Food Pantry and I am presently working on my Girl Scout Gold Award- 80 hours of community service will be required.

I am the VP of my school's Bridges Outreach club working to provide food to those in need and teach elementary students about our homeless outreach. I am the Future Business Leaders of America Recruitment and Engagement Officer and represented Chatham High School in the NJ State FBLA competition for Introduction to Business Concepts after placing in the top 5 in my region. I am grade level coordinator for the Key Club and the engagement officer for the Medical Careers Club. I love both science and business and have enjoyed my education and experiences in both!
