I’m an incoming junior at North Carolina State University majoring in Human Biology and Nonprofit Studies, and I serve as the Feature Twirler for NC State—performing at all home football games and major athletic events. With 16 years of twirling experience, I’m proud to represent the U.S. as a Team USA athlete, competing this August at the IBTF Baton Twirling World Championship in Italy. I also previously represented the U.S. in Peru as a cultural delegate for their Festival of Spring. Beyond athletics, I’m passionate about health equity and service. I’m the President of NC State’s Global Medical Brigades, where I recently led a team of 14 students to Ghana to provide free healthcare to over 500 patients. I’m also the founder of a nonprofit that has raised $15,000+ for cancer research, a cause close to my heart as my mom battles stage four metastatic breast cancer.
