Extracurricular Info:
I’m really involved in debate. I’m the policy team captain at my school, and I attend most of the tournaments that my school can go to. I helped start a new branch of our debate team that incorporated junior high students, and I frequently help teach in the classroom. I also enjoy music; I play the piano and the violin. I’m privately taught and an accompanist on the piano, playing for my church and also for hire at festivals, recitals, etc. On the violin, I’m concert master at my church, my school’s chamber, and a member of the Boise Philharmonic Youth Orchestra. I started mock trial my junior year, and was promoted to junior team captain. I successfully led a team of brand-new members to the state competition, beating out our veteran mock trial team.
Work Experience:
I’ve volunteered at our local Youth Ranch, at Boise Philharmonic concerts, and for our local congresswoman’s reelection campaign.
Awards:
Aside from school awards, nothing major.
