1. What do you like most about going to Riverside Prep? I'm from New York, so we had an indoor school. But here at Riverside Prep, I like the new experience. It's a new start and I like having an outdoor campus and getting fresh air. It's a new beginning for me, a new chapter in my life to come to California.
2. What's your favorite subject/teacher and why? That's hard because there are a lot of good teachers here. I really like Ms. G (Gagliardi) who I had in seventh grade. She's a really cool teacher. She has that cool teacher tone, she's very understanding if you ever have to talk to her. My favorite class is Social Studies with Mrs. Streitenberger. I find it to be very easy for me.
3. What do you like to do outside of school? I do a lot of gaming. I like to play Overwatch and I grew up with a Wii and Wii U. I also do gymnastics and tennis. And I like cooking, it's a lot of fun.
4. What are you excited about with going to high school next year? I'm both a little excited and nervous. I'm really nervous about the work and that I might fall behind. But when I walk over to the high school, it just seems a little cleaner and a little more refreshing, so I'm excited to be on that campus next year.
5. What do you want to be when you grow up? My top one right now is acting and theater. I've been doing drama ever since I was little and I just loved it. I'm really excited to join the Drama Club in high school.
Comment from Ms. Streitenberger: "She is consistently putting her best foot forward. She has a maturity that is above her age and she is not afraid to ask questions. She works to improve everyday and does not give up when given critiques."
