Bryna Benitez is preparing for an exciting next chapter after graduation as she plans to attend UNC Chapel Hill to earn her bachelor\u2019s degree in exercise science with a minor in health science. She plans to continue her education by pursuing her master\u2019s degree in occupational therapy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bryna hopes to build a career as an occupational therapist, combining her love for health, movement, and helping others live fuller, more independent lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During her time at Clover Garden School, Bryna was deeply involved in school life. She participated in FCA, Beta Club, DREAM Team, Student Council, Junior Civitan, and the Mentorship Program. She was also a committed student-athlete, competing in high school soccer, tennis, and volleyball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of Bryna\u2019s favorite memories at CGS is spending time with her friends in class and on her sports teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bryna\u2019s advice to younger students:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDon\u2019t focus on the future as much and enjoy the time you have.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re so proud of you, Bryna, and can\u2019t wait to see all you accomplish!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
