"Since coming to IC, I've consistently earned high academic achievements, granting me entrance into the honor societies of Phi Kappa Phi and Psi Chi. I've worked as a Writing Center Tutor for the past year and absolutely love it, as I find it professionally and personally fulfilling. I've also served as the Treasurer for Ithaca College Club Fencing for three years now. I had a personal essay published in the 2025 edition of Zoetic and am currently working on my senior project, which is a YA murder mystery novel. In the future, I hope to get a job in the publishing industry as a marketer or publicist while I work on writing more YA novels."
