Anticipated Major: Athletic Training and Pre-Physical Therapy
High School Highlights: “The past four years at Buckeye Central I have been involved in many extra-curricular activities and strived to succeed academically. I was a member of the varsity basketball and softball teams, and I gained a lot of live experience from playing them. When I wasn’t at practice after school, I would either be at a National Honor Society, Art Club, Spanish Club, or leadership meeting.
