I volunteered as an assistant/coach for the Great Mountain Bears Ski Club at Wachusett Mountain. I worked with athletes of all ages who have disabilities, physical and cognitive. 

I volunteered at the YMCA for the summer as a camp counselor and also at a local piano recital where I helped students during recitals and performances and assisted the younger students with their preparation work prior to their recital. 

I worked at the YMCA my freshman, sophomore, junior and senior year as a camp counselor. During my senior year I worked at the Loft Outlets at the Wrentham Outlet Mall. I also ran my tennis business which is giving lessons after the summer camp since freshman year.

Growing up in the Cliffs for the last 18 years, I have made many friends. We went to the same schools, doing the same activities, and having sleepovers and hanging out during weekends. Some of these friends have gone to college, some will be going to college, and some move to another state. But due to our Cliffs connections, I know we will stay close and continue to support each other in the college years.

The holiday spirit in the Cliffs is what I will miss the most. I will miss seeing all of the lights in

the neighborhood around the holiday season and I will miss driving around with my family or

friends and seeing who has the most decorations up.

Stoll the Cliffs magazine inspired me to start my own business. I saw ads in the magazine with kids advertising services, so I decided to do the same. In the Spring of 2021, I started a business giving tennis lessons to local kids. I placed an ad in the magazine and gave lessons for almost four years before heading off to college!
