Extracurricular Activities
I am a four-year member of a Division 3 collegiate gymnastics team at Ithaca College, competing on bars, beam and vault. I am a National Championship Qualifier on vault and helped my team qualify in to the NCGA National Championship three times. In addition, I won the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference Specialist of the Week in February 2013.
I also brought the Left Over Leos program to Ithaca College in 2013 which donates gently used leotards to kids who cannot afford them and proceeds are then donated to the Cancer Resource Center of the Finger Lakes. This program was then brought to the 2014 Division 3 NCGA National Championship. Hopefully, this program can continue at the Division 3 national level from now on.
I am a three-year member of Ithaca College's Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) as the representative for gymnastics team. SAAC brings together student athletes to participate in community service, raise attendance at sporting events, and discuss NCAA regulations. We work with the athletic administration to make sure that the voices of student athletes are heard, not just at the institution-level, but also at the conference and NCAA-levels.
