Nicoletta Baltzis Class of '22

I am Nicoletta A. Baltzis, a Pre-Law student at Cornell University and a proud alumna of the St. John's Prep Class of 2022. St. John's was where I learned to spread my wings and seize opportunities. I was surrounded by a family of uplifting individuals who constantly inspired me to realize my full potential. The rigorous academics and engaging extracurriculars strengthened my work ethic that I have since carried over into my collegiate career. With this combination of social and academic support, St. John's fulfills its motto of ensuring "that [its students] may have life more abundantly."
