Involvement: Sun Dial Press Member, Swimming Team Manager, and Sun Spirit Head.

“Hi! This is my fourth year at Walker’s. I am currently a senior and I joined Walker’s in my 9th grade year. Being a cicerone is very important to me because I enjoy having the opportunity to talk and get to know families. Sharing my Walker’s experiences and all the opportunities that are available to everyone excites me. Being able to share the community and family we have built here at Walker’s is one of my favorite things. I want to be able to show prospective families our community and the many different unique traditions that we have at Walker’s.”
