ATTRIBUTES
Arts
I have been interested in photography and video production for about 4 years now. I attended the New York Film Academy, where I was able to increase my skills in film making. I made two short films while there. I also chronicle my class of 2011 through video and photography. I am applying to college so that I may study film production. I also make my own short films using my friends as the actors.
Community Service
I have helped tutor 8th graders at my old middle school Stuart-Hobson. I am on multiple committees at my school to help my class raise money. I also commit 5 hours a week to help make food for the less fortunate, through an organization called Brainfood.
Other Achievements
I am a apart of an organization called S.A.S.S, which stands for Sister Action Sister Strength. I was a dedicated member of the finance club at my school where I was awarded the Certificate of Recognition from The U.S. Department of the Treasury. I've also received my certificate of completing college courses at Georgetown University, through the program Summer Discovery.
