Throughout high school, I was the shy girl—the one who didn’t have many friends and preferred to stay within the comfort of school and home. Socializing beyond my academic responsibilities wasn’t something I sought out. Then, halfway through my sophomore year in 2020, the world shut down.

When school returned in person, I joined student council—and everything changed. I found my voice, confidence, and passion for leadership.

Now, five years later, I’m a senior at Endicott College, studying Marketing Communication and Advertising. I’m on track to graduate early in December 2025 and have grown into someone who is outgoing, driven, and ready to make an impact.
