I'm a junior distance runner at Fernandina Beach High School who loves competing, improving every day, and being part of a team. I'm a Nassau County Champion in the 1600m and 3200m, hold my school's mile record, helped set the 4×800 relay record, and still hold middle school records in the 3K track and 3K cross country.

I take the title of student-athlete seriously because both words matter equally to me. A 4.33 weighted GPA isn't an accident—it reflects the same discipline, consistency, and commitment I bring to every workout and race. I'm looking for a Division I program that values excellence in both academics and athletics.

Beyond running, I plan to pursue a pre-med track with the goal of becoming an orthopedic surgeon. I want to continue growing as both an athlete and a student while contributing to a team built on hard work and accountability.

In my free time, you'll find me fishing, on the golf course, or playing pickleball — pretty much anything outdoors. I also love spending time with family and friends, which keeps me grounded and reminds me why I compete.
