- I have been at Bullis since 4th grade.
-
What activities do you participate in at Bullis?
- For sports I play soccer and tennis, I was the starting JV goalie and I played 1st singles for varsity tennis. I have been playing the violin at Bullis since I was in 4th grade. I was a pioneer in starting the Debate Team at Bullis and last year was the first year we were able to debate under the Bullis name. I was in the Sports Medicine Club where we broke down sports injuries which I loved. I was also in the Debate Club and Model UN Club in Middle School. I currently participate in many charities such as Heartsongs for Teens, Saints for Service, Sayva, and I started funding for LLS. I was a Student Ambassador last year for students applying to Bullis who wanted to shadow Bullis students.

What are you most passionate about and why?
- I would say that I am most passionate when I am on the field or court with my teammates, especially at Bullis as it is such a fun environment to be in. I am also passionate when it comes time to perform or debate under the Bullis name because I want to do well for my school.
-
What global challenge would you like to see tackled and how do you see yourself contributing to the positive change that you desire?
- The global challenge I want to see tackled even more than it is today is poverty, especially in 3rd world countries. In most of the charities I am a part of I have really been trying to focus on how to get children educated and out of poverty as much as possible so that it is not an intergenerational issue. If we can start by helping and educating children living in poverty we could see a large change in the world.
-
What do you like most about the Bullis community?
- I love that in the Bullis community everyone treats each other like family whether it is friends or teachers, everyone is included and never left out. Everyone in the community will support you when needed and it is contagious throughout the school. I also love how diverse Bullis is and everyone looks at each other the same way.
