Since I was young, I’ve always loved traveling. I grew up in East Greenwich, Rhode Island, and have moved around throughout my life as a child and teen. After living in Rhode Island for seven years, I moved to New Jersey for a year, but left after just a year because our family did not enjoy it there. Later in my childhood when I was nine, I moved to Scarborough, Maine. That was by far the best place I’ve ever lived. Two years later we moved to Baku, Azerbaijan for my dad’s job. While I lived over seas I did a lot of traveling throughout my childhood. Three years later, I moved to New Hampshire for high school.

I have many hobbies some of which include: traveling, playing soccer, and surfing. All of my childhood I have been fortunate enough to travel abroad. Some of the countries I’ve been to are: London, Ireland, Italy, Greece, Costa Rica, Iceland.

Over my high school experience I played sports such as volleyball, soccer, and ran track. I enjoyed playing all of those sports in high school, but I also got my friends to do unified basketball. Unified basketball is when you have a mix of helpers and players. It was a lot of fun working with children with special needs. It was a great experience overall, and I got to build a connection with one kid on the team. After helping kids on the team I realized I want to help kids with special needs out. When I’m older I . hope to work with kids who have social anxiety or social disorders to help them find a way to successfully communicate and socialize with others.
