What is a favorite High School moment(s): A majority of my favorite moments in high school consist of my performances alongside my bandmates in Nazareth’s Block of Rock, which is a contemporary music ensemble. Every performance was extremely memorable and I know for sure that I will miss performing alongside my friends.
Another one of my favorite memories in high school is when our eSports team traveled to Pittsburgh to compete in the PIEA Semifinals and Finals. It was a long bus ride there and back, but the trip was just as memorable as it was long. It was certainly an emotional rollercoaster of a day, but I enjoyed every second of it.
Hobbies, School Activities and Accomplishments: Block of Rock, Eagle Vision, Nazareth eSports, National Honor Society
In eSports, our team for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate traveled to Pittsburgh for state championships and placed 2nd in the state of Pennsylvania.
What is a favorite moment(s) about your internship: My favorite memory interning with D11 Sports is when I got to meet and interview Mario Andretti at a Lehigh Valley Legends game.
Thoughts of St. Luke’s partnership with D 11Sports.com: I think it’s great that St. Luke’s is partnering with D11 Sports, given the context and presence of both in high school sports I feel like it’s only fitting for them to form such a partnership, and it’s a step forward for both organizations.
Plans after college: I don’t have any concrete plans after college just yet. Ideally I would like to be employed by a large, healthy company doing something IT-related. I also have a strong passion for music and I would like to stay involved with it for as long as I can, even if it is just for fun.
