I am born & raised Suffolk County, Long Island, and graduated from John Glenn High School with a 98.61 uw gpa.
In my sophomore year, I founded my high school’s Medical Club to give students structured exposure to healthcare careers. I secured a partnership with the nonprofit Doctors of Tomorrow, which gave club members access to clinical shadowing opportunities and scholarships, which turned the club from a discussion group into a pipeline for tangible pre-professional experience. I complemented this with a term as Senior Class Vice President and President of Tri-M, as well as competitive involvement in Mock Trial, Varsity Soccer, Track, and Tennis, which honed my ability to lead teams, argue persuasively, and perform under pressure. For the past two years, I have also served as a music tutor through the Do Re Mi Project, teaching violin and trombone to 14 students across the globe virtually. My experience with the Do Re Mi Project taught me how to be adaptable, communicate clearly cross-culture, and patience when guiding the experience of others.
At Macaulay Honors College, I am majoring in Mathematics on the pre-medical track. This past summer, I completed over 130 hours of clinical shadowing across multiple specialties. The skills and lessons I learned from clinical encounters developed my understanding on how to create measurable impact on individuals and communities. I am running for Scholars’ Council because I want to bring this combination of organizational experience, academic training, and firsthand clinical exposure to a role where I can advocate directly for my peers and contribute substantively to the initiatives that shape the Macaulay community.
