I played on the Syosset High School Girls’ Tennis Team during my freshman and sophomore years (9th and 10th grade, 2022–2023). I learned to work as part of a bigger team, how to focus in intense situations, and to persevere, no matter what. I carry these qualities into everything I do.

I joined the girls’ volleyball team in middle school after the pandemic, rediscovering the joy of playing on a team and belonging to a close-knit community.
