Extra Curricular Activities
In addition to academics and volleyball, other activities that are important to me include environmental protection, sustainable business, and ocean conservation.
I have an entrepreneurial spirit, founding LeapX, a nutrition supplement business (leapx.us).
I volunteer with River Keeper to keep my neighborhood parks and waterways healthy.
In studying the mechanics of the human jump, I connected with research documenting the effect of specific caffeine forms and doses that improve the jump height of athletes up to 2 inches. I then worked with product developers to manufacture the health supplement LeapX (leapx.us). I manage the admin, sales, and marketing.
My grandparents own a fruit farm/winery, and during school vacations, I worked there assisting them. I helped label the wine bottles and transport inventory, driving the Kubota between the sheds and the cellar door. I helped with the picking of grapes and the netting of the vines. I also served cheese platters to customers.
I clean up waterways and parks in my local area in teams with The Association of Community Employment Programs for the Homeless. Clean water and clean green spaces are important for the community.
I am a co-leader of this club that focuses on protecting the oceans and creating community around fishing trips.
I was a part of the Art Gallery of New South Wales junior ceramics program where we were mentored by leading Australian sculptors. My work was selected for the regional Willoughby Art Show, where I was the youngest finalist for the Ewart Art Prize.
