Outside hobbies and other activities: My curiosity and love of science has opened doors for me. I was selected to be part of the Spence School’s
Independent Science Research Program. After being selected, I personally secured an ongoing internship at Columbia University Medical Center’s
Science Research Center in the Melanoma Laboratory. I work one on one with the doctors weekly and in summers up to my senior year where I
will present scientific findings. I assist in experiments, handle and dissect mice in the laboratory. I have taken many courses at Columbia to allow
me to care for the animals in the lab. From 2008-2011 I volunteered at Amaryllis Horse Rescue Center. Since 2007 I work summer at various
riding stables) helping with care of the horses and children’s pony camp. Since 2008, I have been selected by Spence School as part of the
modern dance ensemble group. Each year I participate in a two-day dance performance held at Symphony Space Theatre in NYC with over 800

have been taking classes at Spence since kindergarten. I am an avid photographer and my equine photography has been published several times in
Dan’s Papers magazine. I love to draw and paint.
