Bio

I am extremely passionate about educating those around me about climate change, as well being an advocate for underrepresented groups such as people of color and individuals with disabilities. I have a rare neurological disorder called Neurofibromatosis type 2 as well as ADHD. I strive to not let these challenges define me in a negative light; instead, I percieve them as qualities that allow me to look at the world from a new perspective.
