In high school, worked hard to graduate with high honors (3.75+ GPA) and the academic honors diploma. I was also able to graduate with the STEM honors diploma after completing extra STEM based courses and an externship at Charles River Laboratories. I was able to see and learn more about doing research in the medical field.

During my high school career, I was involved with sports and clubs. I was on the varsity cheerleading team since my freshman year and had the opportunity to become the head captain my senior year. I was also involved with the track team for all four years and was on the pole vault team. I was awarded the 3×4 award for being in a sport for all three seasons during high school and also the purple blanket award for having good academic standing while being on a varsity team.
