Hometown: Washington, DC
Favorite Class: Advanced Precalculus

How do you prefer to spend the community period?
I appreciate having a study hall because sports take up a lot of my after school time.

What's your favorite spot on campus?
The bench where my friends and I eat lunch, right outside of FLHR [Fannie Lou Hamer Room].

What do you like to do for fun?
I love to read, and my favorite genre is fantasy. I also enjoy baking and playing board games.

A drama class surprised my math class last year with a pizza party!
