About Me

First, I am always evolving.

I embrace questions, especially the ones that challenge who I believe I am at the time. There are core values that guide my life, but the expressions of who I am and the direction I travel will change. And I embrace that change. Know that my story will continue to evolve as I attempt to leave my mark on this world.

I am a God-fearing sophomore at Apex Friendship High School (Apex, NC). I have a 4.5 GPA and the classes I like the most are Sciences and English. I took an AP class last year and am taking 2 AP classes this year. I plan to continue to challenge myself through difficult classes as I prepare myself to become an orthopedic surgeon.

My family loves soccer, so I have been playing since I was very young. Even though I also played other sports, soccer always held a special place in my heart. I am a Winger/Striker at North Carolina Football Club (NCFC) for the U17 ECNL team.

I am a voracious reader. When I am not reading or playing soccer, I usually being an active participant in my church community. I am an usher and help with outreach and ministry projects. My faith shapes my morals and pushes me to be a positive and hardworking person and player.
