Girls tennis.
Future plans: Study chemical phys-
ics at Michigan State University’s 
College of Natural Science.
Playing sports at Frankel: “Helped 
build my disciplined approach to 
academics, athletics and my social 
life through my role as a team 
co-captain. Frankel’s small size 
allowed me to be involved in many 
aspects of planning for the girls 
tennis team that I would not have 
had the opportunity to do at a pub-
lic school. I can now translate that 
experience to the next chapter of my 
life in college.
