A little about me

I was valedictorian of my high school class and got into every school I applied to. I chose Wake Forest through early decision. I made the club soccer team, one of nine spots out of more than eighty five people who tried out.

Now I'm an Outdoor Pursuits leader for incoming freshmen, in Tri Delta, and part of the Social Deacs media team. I know what it takes to get in, and what it actually takes to do well once you're there.

Spots fill up fast during application season, so the earlier you book, the more time we have.
