4:45pm-11pm

As a proud graduate of Milton Hershey School, I have been fortunate to receive a well-rounded education that emphasized the importance of the arts, music, and athletics. This foundation has allowed me to explore and develop my passions in various creative and athletic endeavors.

My artistic journey encompasses a love for drawing, painting, and crafting unique handmade items, which I find both therapeutic and fulfilling. These creative outlets not only bring me joy but also enable me to express myself in meaningful ways.

Musically, I am proficient in playing the ukulele and possess a solid understanding of music theory. This combination allows me to appreciate and create music that resonates with others.

Athletically, I was an active member of my school's varsity soccer team, where I learned the values of teamwork, discipline, and perseverance—principles that continue to guide me in all aspects of life.

In my professional life, I work as a teller, where I strive to bring kindness and patience to every interaction. I take pride in creating positive and enriching environments, whether collaborating on a creative project or contributing to a team effort.
