I’ve lived in Cincinnati my whole life, I went to All saints for grade school, ran cross country and track and played baseball, basketball, soccer, and lacrosse. I wanted to go to Moeller because of how much fun I had on my shadow day, which was MoeGate. After that I didn’t shadow anywhere else because of how much fun I had at Moeller.

Freshman year I ran cross country and track because that’s what I was best at coming into Moeller. I was on varsity of hurdles freshman year, but I wasn’t having a whole lot of fun doing it so the next year I quit cross country and track to play lacrosse, which was a lot more fun, but I wasn’t very good. Junior year I was convinced to go back out for track by my coaches and ran in both JV and Varsity meets. Senior year I don’t know if I will continue to run track just because I’m not going to college for it, and it’s a lot more fun when I have free time to hang out with friends or go to other sporting events.

My favorite moment at Moeller so far have been Moeller vs St. X basketball games. I think basketball is a lot more entertaining than football, so getting to see the rivalry game at Moeller when it’s loud is so much fun. I love being in the student section, I like hanging out with my friends before the game, and after we win.

After Moeller I hope to become an anesthesiologist and either attend The University of Kentucky, or do a pathway program freshman year of college to get admitted into the University of Tennessee my sophomore year. I’m just waiting to see where most of my friends go and where my twin sister goes to make my decision. Although if I don’t want to do 8+ years of schooling I can always just decide to be an anesthesiologist assistant which is less schooling and money, but I would have to transfer to a school that offers an anesthesiologist assistant program after my first 4 years of college.
