Courses like CP Sociology and Applied Psychology deepened my understanding of human behavior, social interactions, and societal structures. These subjects gave me valuable insights into problem-solving, communication, and leadership.

Outside the classroom, I was highly involved in both athletics and student organizations:

Varsity Cheerleading - Developed leadership, communication, and teamwork skills by coordinating routines, mentoring teammates, and representing the school at events. Demonstrated discipline, adaptability, and the ability to perform under pressure, valuable traits in professional environments.
Track & Field Team – Strengthened perseverance, goal-setting, and time management through rigorous training and competitive events.
School Clubs:
Spirit Club, Library Media Club, and Makerspace – Engaged in creative projects and school community initiatives.
