EATONTOWN, NJ
I attend a school selected via a competitive application & testing process. After college I am planning to continue onto Law School. I love debating and am the Lawyer for my team. I love history with a passion and cannot get enough learning about our US and World history. Running is my all time favorite "release" activity, I am on the cross country, track varsity teams. I also love working with children and am employed in my town as a coach. The most distinguishing characteristic about me that defines who I am, is an advocate for diversity and giving back through public community service.
