“This is my first year at Northwood. I am a senior, and I’m on the girl’s hockey team. I’m from Camillus, New York, right outside of Syracuse. Before Northwood, I played soccer and lacrosse; I also skied, golfed, wakeboarded, and lots of other outdoor sports. I used to want to go pro in soccer, but I chose hockey. I have a younger brother named Nash and an older brother named River. We grew up being very competitive, and they both used to play hockey, and I didn’t, but now I am the only one playing hockey.
“I like photography, and I love art. I love to draw animals, especially dogs and I love to draw houses and buildings. Sunsets and flowers are fun to photograph because they are always so colorful.
“My favorite class here is AP Lit, although it’s a lot to take on. It’s interesting to hear what Reno has to say. I love walking into town from Northwood; I think it’s fun and something other schools don’t offer. My friends and I like to golf and go to the lake.
“My family has a summer lake house on a lake called Chautauqua. I have been going there every year since I was four, and I see my cousins and family there. I usually spend most of July at our lake house.
“Being away from my family is hard, but I talk with them regularly, so it makes it easier. My family also comes up to watch some of my games when they can, so it’s always good to see them here. During breaks, I try to do everything with the time I can. I love spending time with my family and also my friends. I have a hard time when I’m away from them, so spending as much time as possible with them is nice. I also try to get on the ice or in the gym at least once a day to keep active. I love traveling. We travel for hockey a lot, so I’m glad I get to experience new places with my team that most others don’t get to see.
“I hope to leave behind a reputation at Northwood that I was a good kid and respectful to all those around me. That is very important to me and reflects the way my parents tried to raise me.”
