Bio

I am a current high school senior who plans on attending college / university next year. My plan is to get a degree in Environmental Science / Geography with the goal of becoming either a Geographer or Urban City Designer. I'm multilingual, knowing English, Spanish, and having created my high school's first ASL club of which I serve as President of. This has allowed me to better understand the value of communication and connection with others, helping me further value those around me. The most important things to me are my family and community, both of which I always work to give back to whenever I can. When not in school, I am practicing bass guitar, drawing, and reading all while watching my little brother. When school is in session, I am balancing school work with my hobbies and staying resilient to whatever comes my way.
