“Because of the teachers at Solebury, 我逐渐认识到,我在谈话中所说的话是有价值的,我应该更多地利用我的声音.” —Carol

 

At Solebury School, Carol was an active member of various clubs and a three-sport athlete; she also served on our Academic Committee and Judiciary Committee and was known for her admirable work ethic. 卡罗尔毕业时是班里的佼佼者, 这可能会让九年级的她感到惊讶. “索利伯里教会我要打破自我. During my freshman year, 我花了很多时间在教室里说话,因为我经常紧张或害怕说错答案. Because of the teachers at Solebury, 我逐渐认识到,我在谈话中所说的话是有价值的,我应该更多地利用我的声音.”

Carol has used her voice in a powerful way. 在索伯里读大四的时候,她创办了一本名为 Nyota, focused on emerging stars in music, fashion, 并以令人耳目一新的积极语气呈现. She honed Nyota’s content for her Teach2Serve 凯普斯通项目,在2016年春天,她给了 a TEDx presentation on the creation of Nyota, 从最初的想法到出版第一期. With Nyota随着读者群的不断增长,Carol也开始扩大她的商业帝国 Starpower in January 2018.

卡罗尔迄今为止最激动人心的职业机会出现了,这要感谢 Nyota and a Solebury School connection — Jeff Vespa ’88, an old schoolmate of her dad’s, Navarrow Wright '88 P'16. 2017年夏天,她去了洛杉矶 Nyota 迪士尼频道明星Skai Jackson的封面照, 卡萝尔通过社交媒体联系并自己预定的人吗. But, Carol explains, “It all came together because of Jeff Vespa, 他是一位了不起的名人摄影师,也是索莱伯里学校的校友,他很友好地让我使用他的工作室进行拍摄,并在整个过程中指导我. 我在很短的时间里学到了很多东西,这段经历将永远影响我.”
