I am a rising senior at Cypress Falls High School in Houston, Texas. I love to play tennis and to hang out with my friends and family. I am a religious debater who competes 2-3 weeks every month. I have qualified for the TFA state tournament in different events every year since my freshman year and have had the honor of being invited to may elite tournaments around Texas and the United States. I also ranked among the top 50 debaters in the nation at NFL Nationals last summer.

     I have an innate passion for global issues. Accordingly, I am the president of the STAND Anti-Genocide Coalition which helps raise awareness and aid for many places suffering from genocide around the world such as Darfur in Sudan. I am also president of the O Ambassador Club which is devoted to alleviating poverty world-wide. It is in conjunction with Oprah's Angel Network. Finally, I am the president of the National Honor Society and am active in other honor societies such as Mu Alpha Theta.

     I love to talk and volunteer in my free time. I also like to take advantage of every opportunity that comes my way.
