“I’m from Elizabeth, New Jersey, and I come from a family of six. I have two brothers, Ethan (10) and Aaron (4), as well as a sister, Alessia (5). An interesting thing about me is that I am of mixed heritage, Polish and Dominican; my dad is Dominican, and my mom is Polish. Before Northwood, I attended a public school where I danced and played softball. I joined Northwood through a New Jersey SEEDS program that helps low-income students apply to independent schools. When I applied and toured Northwood, I felt welcomed by the Northwood community. My hobbies include dancing, reading, going out with friends, and working in town. At Northwood, my favorite STEM research class is because of the independence and self-direction it teaches you to have.”
