What’s your favorite thing about Nazareth?

I appreciate all the opportunities Naz offers. Teachers are always available for extra help and there is a club for everyone. Everyone is welcoming, so wherever you go, you know you're going to fit in. Everyone wants to see others succeed and will do everything they can to help fellow students achieve their goals.

What are your post-high school plans?

I will be playing Division 1 soccer at Hartwick College in New York.

Please choose one of Nazareth’s Four Pillars (Scholarship, Service, Spirit, Unity) and describe what it means to you?

I believe that without Unity the other pillars wouldn't be as strong. Unity promotes collaboration in the classroom, service projects and school spirit. Helping people succeed by working together is always more fun when you're surrounded by some of your closest friends.

What’s one thing people might not know about you?

When I was little, I was obsessed with Minnie Mouse.
