Bio

I'm a motivated leader in the intersection of civic engagement and public discourse. Through my work with student-run civic organizations such as Civic Leaders of America and the Institute for Youth in Policy, I'm committed to shaping the next generation of informed citizens. As a competitive debater, member on philanthropic organization Debate4All's Executive Board, and journalist for the Pali High Tideline, I engage in wide-ranging experiences in the sectors of media and communication.
