Hello, and thank you for visiting my page!

I’m honored to have been selected to participate in the 2025 Cultured Pearls Debutante Cotillion, hosted by the Xi Upsilon Omega Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated. This program promotes leadership, cultural enrichment, and service, while raising scholarship funds that benefit both participants and the broader community.

As a rising senior at North Stafford High School, I’m part of Stafford County’s gifted program and currently maintain a 4.3 GPA. Over the years, I’ve studied Latin, French, and Mandarin Chinese to deepen my understanding of global cultures. I’m a member of the National Honor Society, a four-year Varsity Field Hockey player, and a recipient of the National Security Language Initiative for Youth scholarship to study Mandarin.

Outside the classroom, I stay active in service and leadership through organizations like Jack and Jill of America, Youth in Philanthropy, and Top Teens of America. I also volunteer with TAGGED, which supports children in foster care, and the Greater DC Diaper Bank, which helps families access basic essentials. I am passionate about education, community service, and creating opportunities for others. My future goals include working in public policy, global health, or diplomacy.

Fifty percent of the funds raised through this campaign will support my college education. The other fifty percent will help expand educational access for children in underserved communities. Every donation, no matter the amount, helps move both efforts forward.

Thank you for supporting this journey and for believing in the power of education and service.

With gratitude,

Elle
