I have also been Class President and Secretary, a long-standing member of the Student Council, Civil Rights Team, Track & Field, National Honor Society, and the Community Service Club. When not at school, I work at Fiddlehead Art & Science Center, as a theater teacher and child caregiver.

Next year I will be going to the University of New England, where I will enter a Medical Biology/Pre-Med program with aspiration to enter the doctorate program.

Since I transferred to GNGHS in 10th grade, I have taken full advantage of the extracurricular activities the school has had to offer. I have participated as both an actress (winning a regional All-Cast Award) and a songwriter for the Patriot players, a District Festival member in chorus, a long-distance runner in Indoor and Outdoor track, as well as Cross-Country, and an active member of the National Honors Society. I am also extensively involved in community service, logging over 1,200 hours in high school. Next year I will be majoring in English and Spanish Secondary Education at the University of Southern Maine.

I have been involved in many clubs, teams and activities. I have been a member of the Community Service Club, Math Team, National Honors Society, Mock Trial, Track and Field and Student Council. I have also been a Class of 2012 student representative and treasurer. Most of importantly, however, I have been a member of the Patriot Players (the drama club) for four years and have acted in 13 productions. In the coming fall I will be attending Bennington College majoring in history and with a minor in the arts.
