Activities and Interests
Tennis
I have been playing tennis since I was seven years old. In middle and high school I played tennis at a competitive level across the Mid-Atlantic region in United States Tennis Association (USTA) leagues and tournaments. I no longer play tennis at the competitive level, however I continue to play recreationally with friends and family. I follow the WTA and ATP men’s and women’s professional tours. My favorite tennis player is has been Serena Williams since I was seven, and I continue to follow her career. In my lifetime I want to attend all five tennis grand slam tournaments around the world, and go to a Summer Olympics Games!
Baltimore Ravens, NFL
I am a sports enthusiast. My favorite professional team is the Baltimore Ravens. I am from Baltimore, Maryland and my family and I are die hard fans. We are season ticket holders so we enjoy going to games and tailgates as a family at M&T Bank Stadium! In my lifetime I have witnessed two Ravens Super Bowl victories, and I also want to attend one Super Bowl game.
