Leadership

Leadership Overview

I am delighted to share with you my diverse range of leadership roles and extracurricular efforts during my high school journey. These experiences have shaped me into the well-rounded individual I am today.

Throughout high school, I have actively sought out opportunities to take on leadership roles. I believe that leadership is not just about holding a title, but about making a positive impact and inspiring others. One of the most significant leadership roles I have held is serving as the Founding and Chief Editor of the St. Mark’s Political Review. In this position, I have had the privilege of encouraging my fellow students to get involved in the community and to better understand the pressing needs of local citizens. I have also worked collaboratively with faculty and administrators to implement a publication that is bipartisan and seeks to inform. Through this experience, I have developed strong communication, organization, and problem-solving skills, which I believe will be invaluable in my future endeavors.

Beyond my various leadership roles, I have dedicated myself to a wide range of extracurricular activities that have allowed me to explore my interests and develop new skills.

Thank you for taking the time to learn about my leadership roles and extracurricular efforts. I am proud of the experiences I have had and the skills I have developed, and I am eager to bring my passion, dedication, and leadership abilities to college.
