The application for the scholarship consists of the creation of a public service announcement highlighting an issue facing Verona youth. Her entry, titled "Pick Your Poison," shows the different types of alcoholic beverages, along with some of the problems that they can cause. The tagline of the ad reads "Choosing to drink underage is choosing a way to die. Be smart, say no to alcohol and underage drinking." The PSA will be used as part of an ad campaign in the fall in newspapers and online.
She was a member of Heroes and Cool Kids and STARS during her time at VHS and will be attending Rutgers University in the fall. Each year, the Verona Municipal Alliance Committee offers a $500 scholarship to a Verona High School senior. In order to be eligible for the scholarship, students need to have been involved with one of the clubs that VMAC sponsors at VHS: Peer Leadership, Heroes and Cool Kids, or STARS.
