About Me

I am going to be a senior this year at RCHS. I moved to Olney in August of 2022 from St. Louis. I have not been in Olney a long time but I enjoy being a part of this community. I enjoy spending my free time watching movies, hanging out with friends, and even going out to eat or shop. I have been a dancer for almost 13 years and sometimes dance at my church too. I love to bake and aim to one day own and run a cafe. I have been an Honors and High Honors student throughout my freshman to junior year of highschool. What I look forward to most about the CEO program is learning the skills it takes to work with people, own and run a business, and meet new people. While being in this program, I am excited to meet the people who run the businesses of this town and create connections with anyone I can.
