I'm sixteen and a rising senior at Woodrow Wilson High School in Washington, D.C. I swim competitively year-round and play tennis for my school team. I also love skiing and snowboarding. I'm co-captain of the varsity policy debate team at school. My real passion is music. I compose and write lyrics in my spare time, and recently I've been experimenting with music production. I play guitar, piano, and drums.
