Sylvie Weinstock is a 17-year-old senior at Hall High School in West Hartford, Connecticut. She was born on June 3, 2002, in Connecticut, and has spent her entire life living in West Hartford with her family, including her two older brothers, Jordan and Evan, and dog, Penny. 

Sylvie enjoys hanging out with friends, family, and playing tennis. One of the biggest role models in her life is her mom. She says that her mom “is a good listener and does everything for the people she loves.” She has also learned from her family “the importance of respect and being kind to those around you.” 

She aspires to use this teaching in her day to day life and in Journalism. She says that Journalism will allow her to use this lesson while finding the stories while interviewing people. After graduating high school, she plans on attending Penn State and majoring in Communications to then find a career in advertising.
