About
Throughout my high school career at Highland Park High School in Illinois, I was very involved in theatre, participating in many plays and musicals. I also spent much of my free time in school clubs, such as Big Brother Big Sister, student senate, class council, Junior Achievements, and Giant Buddies (a mentoring program for special needs students). Additionally I was active in the school choir, with which I travelled to Italy and performed at the Vatican. My hobbies include playing the piano and singing. As a recipient of the Jefferies Family Scholarship, I have attended Miami University of Ohio. I am now about to enter my junior year at Miami and I’m still so grateful for the scholarship from Jefferies. Because of the scholarship, I am able to attend a reputable university where I take classes in the Farmer School of Business and started a club that focuses on outer space exploration. The scholarship has given me an opportunity to learn so much at school and my life has been changed for the better.
