Grade: 12

Family members: Hiroe (Mom), Patrick (Dad), and four brothers

Favorite subject(s): English is my favorite subject because it gives me the space to challenge my creativity and improve my analytical skills. Establishing a level of individuality in my writing is important to me, and utilizing the subject helps me speak on matters as well as expanding my knowledge.

Activities: Student Council Executive Board Bonding Coordinator, Cheer Captain, Greenhouse Club, Key Club, Future Business Leaders of America, National Honor Society Secretary, Chairman of Sponsorships for the Mini-THON Committee

Next steps: Attending a four year college and majoring in Business Administration.

Career goals: My goal after college is to use my business degree for the benefit of others. I am not entirely sure what I would like to do in business, but I would love to make a creative space for others to grow and find themselves.

Heroes: My hero is definitely Rihanna. She has broke dozens of records with her music, cultivated her own makeup line and clothing company. She has continued to excel in all fields she explores, and I hope to follow her footsteps one day.

Hobbies: Dancing, practicing handlettering, and cooking for my family.

Current job(s): I currently work at Tucker, a cafe located in the Simon Silk Mill. The owners, Jason and Mel, have created a beautiful space to enjoy yourself and established a sense of community there as well. Nothing is better than interacting with customers on a first name basis, and being welcomed by a handsome dog at the door.

Volunteer/community work: Mini-THON, Miracle League, Special Olympics, Safe Harbor

Likes: I love all genres of music, dogs, elephants, sleeping, working, The Office, and macaroni and cheese.

Dislikes: I dislike lazy people, not getting enough sleep, and bugs.

Greatest accomplishment (so far): My greatest accomplishment so far has to be this year’s Mini-THON. We raised $100,000 for kids who suffer from pediatric cancer. Being part of the difference and helping them in any way possible is the most rewarding feeling. After spending hours making sure the event ran smoothly and that everyone enjoyed themselves, it feels good to know that we did it all for the kids.

Advice for peers: Join clubs, run for office in your Student Council, and be active during your years of high school! It is an amazing way to connect with your environment, create new friends, build relationships with faculty, and most importantly - making unforgettable memories. You only have four short years of high school football games, late night runs to grub out on food, and engaging in the spirit of the school. Being active in your community helps build your confidence and enables you to fully enjoy the world around you.
