Hi! I am a 17 year old changemaker, mental health advocate, and social entrepreneur. I launched and grew @NormalizingTheConversation, an international online mental health advocacy platform and business that aims to destigmatize mental health by amplifying the voices and stories of mental health warriors on our social media and website. Mental health advocacy is a cause very close to my heart, and I do everything in my power to make a safe community. At my school, I am the President of the "Hornets Minds Matter" (HMM), a safe space for students to talk about their emotions and participate in wellness and self care activities. As an avid mental health advocate, I recognize that elderly mental health is often overlooked - which is why my friends and I created a 501(c)(3) called Generation Union (GU)! GU, created in honor of my amazing grandma, hosts social events to uplift elderly mental wellness and provides youth volunteers that aid the elderly in their everyday life. Financial literacy is another cause that's incredibly important to me, and I work to make sure it's accessible to everyone, especially youth. My stock trading journey inspired me to write my own book, "The Spicy of Psychology of Stocks," to share my trading strategies and experience with aspiring young investors like me! At school, I started the Hornets Financial Literacy and Business Club to promote financial literacy among my peers. Nice to meet you :)
