WinnerBio
Hi! My goal is to major in zoology/animal studies and/or film. Depending on my major and what field I choose to pursue a degree in, I want to either work directly with animals, focusing on husbandry and conservation; or work as a cinematographer or director. I love both of these career paths and I enjoy both science and the creative process. I have strong experience working with animals and I will also be creating short films over the summer.
I am chronically ill, which has impacted my life in so many different ways. I am the founder and president of Abby's Hope Project, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting and empowering individuals and families with chronic illnesses and disabilities. I attend online school at Christa McAuliffe Arts and Sciences Academy. I am also a National Honor Society member and a member of many school clubs.
I highly value my grades and I want to do very well in school while also challenging myself academically.
