“I have been flying for four years and have soloed a couple of times. Currently I am working on trying to get my private pilot’s license for my Peak Pathway. I am thinking about doing aviation as a possible career and maybe joining the AirForce someday.
“I have been lucky to grow up in Lake Placid my whole life. Prior to attending Northwood, I went to North Country School for six years before coming here in tenth grade. I also had several friends who were coming to Northwood that same year, which made it easier to attend a new school. I came to Northwood because it gave me the opportunity to take my skiing to the next level without having to compromise my academics.
“At Northwood I have participated in Nordic Skiing/Biathlon as well as Crew. I would say that I most enjoy Skiing and Biathlon, as that is the sport I came to Northwood for, but I have really loved learning how to row over the past three years. Crew is a pretty challenging sport, and it was fun for me to learn how to do something new. I also really enjoyed the teamwork it taught me, especially rowing in a quad with three other girls.
“As of right now, I am not exactly sure what my plans are for after high school, but I know that I want to keep skiing at an elite level, whether that is during a gap year or at college.”
