“I’ve always been so fascinated with outer space and planets and stars since I was young. I also love architecture because of all the places I’ve visited. I love the places where classical architecture captures the beauty of the time period. I really want to bring beauty back into buildings.
“I’m from Berkeley Heights, New Jersey, about an hour’s train ride from the city. I wanted to come to Northwood mainly to be able to pursue skiing more without the constraints of a typical public school curriculum. I wanted to be able to ski every day in the winter while balancing schoolwork with it. It was my dream to get into a school that values sports and the outdoors as much as Northwood as well, which compelled me to come.
“In my free time, I enjoy hanging out with friends and listening to music. I’m super into photography, even though I don’t have a professional camera. Anything I see on a walk that I take every day could look slightly different and I’d want to take a picture and capture the beauty of it. I’m constantly trying to get the perfect picture on trips I go on to capture the experience’s true feeling. I have 44 thousand pictures on my phone, obviously not all of nature and places I’ve been to, but most are, and I think that’s pretty crazy.
“As for sports, I would love to keep skiing and horseback riding in college. If I could practice more and maybe get on an actual team later in college, that would be amazing because I know some schools have good pipelines from the club to the actual team. Overall, though, I’d like to just pursue these sports casually and enjoy them as much as I can, and maybe I could look into other things with that, like rock climbing and hiking.”
