Bio Statement
Last year for my community service project, I worked with the Girls Varsity Basketball team as a team manager. My role was to help practice run smoothly and by keeping track of the score, shot clock, and time. I was also asked to help play on the scout team during the latter half of the season. I also had the opportunity to sit in with the coaches and they planned, practiced and learned the ins and outs of running a D3 basketball program For the 2025/26 school year, I will be continuing as the team manager and helping the women's team in their new season. This past summer, I started my graduate level course work for my Physical Therapy degree. I stayed in Ithaca for the summer and took part in the gross anatomy course that all PT students have to take ahead of the fall of their senior year. It was an amazing class, and a truly profound and meaningful experience that I will never forget.
What does it mean to be a MLK Scholar?
To me, being an MLK scholar is about like minded individuals coming together and creating a community in which they can learn and grow together.. From the moment you meet your cohort members during orientation week freshman year to the day of graduation, you gain a network/ group of friends that support you on your journey through college.
