I was born and lived in San Diego, CA for the first five years of my life. In 2013 I moved to Alexandria, VA where I lived for six years before moving to Charlotte, NC just two short years ago. As a daughter of a U.S. Marine veteran, I had the opportunity to live in three separate neighborhoods in just 13 years, soak in a variety of experiences and culture, and develop many close friendships which I continue to cherish every day. My family describes me as a loyal friend, a kind soul, and a funny person to be around. Despite the challenges of 2020, I managed to navigate the complexities of on-line academics and graduated 7th grade from Jay M. Robinson Middle School just a few weeks ago.
When I am not spending leisure time with my friends, you can most likely find me in a swim cap and goggles between the lanes. In 2014, I developed a passion for competitive swimming with the Highland Park Hurricanes and the Nation’s Capital Swim Club in Northern Virginia. Since moving to North Carolina, I joined TEAM Charlotte and I continue to compete on a regular basis. My parents are my biggest supporters!
Over the past year, I have dedicated much time to my Mitzvah project with Foster Village Charlotte. While working with this organization, I learned that many kids just like me are going through extremely challenging times at a very young age. I raised funds which I am using to purchase mostly “must need” and some “nice to have” gifts for the kids of Foster Village. My hope is that I can provide a small bit of happiness for a group of kids that greatly deserve something special in their lives. Supporting Foster Village Charlotte is a joy that is the icing on the cake in becoming a Bat Mitzvah…..and I really like cake!
