She was named “Teenager of the Year” by Junior League in a tri-state region (Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware) and “Teenager of the Year” by both the Philadelphia Bulletin and Philadelphia Inquirer newspapers for her service to the community. Among her most memorable service projects was organizing a mission to an Appalachian coal mining town in West Virginia.
