I am a junior at LHS. I enjoy reading and studying history. I am most interested in the history of the Byzantine Empire under Justinian, Basil II, and the Komnenian dynasty. I consistently read the Lord of the Rings and Sun Tzu’s Art of War. I also take a keen interest within the Soviet Union, it’s economics, history, and it’s ideology. My favorite movies are The Lord of the Rings, Waterloo, Zulu, and Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World.

Academically, my interests fall under languages and science, and the classes I enjoy most are French, Chemistry, and Calculus. Post high school, I would like to continue studying French as well as Biochemistry with the eventual goal of becoming a physician. Outside of school, I play the flute, row at the Pioneer Valley Riverfront Club, and captain the LHS tennis team

My intellectual interests fall in the areas of math and business; classes I enjoy include calculus, statistics, and macroeconomics. Post-high school, I plan on pursuing a degree in some combination of business analytics, entrepreneurship, and mathematics. Outside of school, I enjoy playing hockey and tennis for LHS. I also often spend time with my Family; we watch movies and Survivor, play board games, and go on road trips. My favorite movie is Donnie Brasco with actors Johnny Depp and Al Pacino. My favorite TV show is Outer Banks, and favorite book is A Prayer for Owen Meany.
