I'm a junior at Montclair High School. 

​

At school, I belong to a small learning group called CGI. CGI is the Civic and Government Institute at Montclair High. In this community of research-based hands on learning, we study social movements and reform and we write legislation and participate in debates at school. This interdisciplinary History and English curriculum over the course of three years has allowed me to engage in a collaborative learning style and have a better understanding of how interconnected our government is to our daily life.

​

I'm a National Junior Honor Society member and a volunteer tutor for Succeed2Gether (a local organization that places a mentor with a child in need.)​ Each school year, we are assigned a student that we meet with weekly to help in specific areas of study. I enjoy it because I can see the progression from start to finish and it gives me a sense of accomplishment. 

​

As the soccer goalie for both the Montclair High School Boys Soccer team and the NJ Stallions Academy Club team, I'm passionate for sports and leadership, but also I clearly love the game. My favorite professional soccer team is Lazio, and my family recently discovered we have ancestry from that region, which was a surprise!

​

Beyond the field, I am a Pokemon enthusiast and am starting my own Pokemon Training Camp for kids in town. I am still working out the details but am hoping to launch it in Summer of 2025. I like to collect cards, attend conventions, and memorize statistics. I love the strategy involved in playing the game and have been an avid Pokemon fan for 10 years.

​

During busy hospitality season in Montclair,  I have a job as a food runner at Egan & Sons. I started working when I was 15 and was the youngest non-family hire at the restaurant. I've learned quite a bit about the F&B (food and beverage) industry as a result of my time at Egan's...but more importantly I'm learning to work under pressure, communicate effectively with customers and pay close attention to details. ​

​

At home, I am the oldest of two sons and have a little brother one year younger than me.  Our family travels frequently due to our family business so my brother and I have core memories together in many different places. In my free time I like to game with friends,  train at the gym, and hang out with my girlfriend.
