School Activities
Outside of clubs, sports and academics, I have volunteered to assist with Kenston Community Education basketball summer camps.

I am a very passionate artist with a primary interest in landscape painting. I have recently completed a commissioned piece for a favorite teacher!
Activities Outside of School
One ofmy favorite experiences in my high school years, was being a Youth Ambassador with Sports Outreach International on a week long mission trip to rural Ometepec, Mexico. On this mission, we provided fellowship with village youth through worship as well as soccer. We fabricated and installed a playground at a preschool and I had the opportunity to teach English classes in their primary school. I am a confirmed member at Federated Church of Chagrin Falls and am an active member of their High School Youth Group. The last two summers I have had the pleasure of working as groundskeeper at Tanglewood Golf Course. I am an avid fly-fishennan on the Chagrin river and have a love of snow skiing and surfing.
College Plans
Although I am undecided on the institution at this time, I plan to attend a 4-year college, majoring in Biology on path of Pre-Medical Studies. I hope to also minor in Studio Art/Painting to further develop my skills in painting.
