Best achievements: making the Dean’s List as a Running Start student at South Puget Sound Community College, being elected an officer for both student government and the Cultural Awareness Club at Timberline, playing varsity tennis

Someday looking back on my life, I’d like to be able to say: that I lived my life serving God and influenced others in a positive way
Biggest challenge facing teenagers today: finding themselves and expressing themselves positively without worrying what others may think

One thing in the world I would change if I could: I would alleviate the suffering of mankind.
