Bio

I am an Honors Fellow in Urban Leadership at Wheaton College (IL), double-majoring in Business/Economics and Biblical/Theological Studies. I am also pursuing two certificates in Human Needs & Global Resources, and also in Humanitarian Action. Through these programs, I will receive both academic knowledge and hands-on experience to best advocate for the underserved and extend hope to those in my local community and beyond. I have the eventual goal of nonprofit leadership. I am a driven academic who graduated from JJ Pearce High School in May 2025. I graduated in the Top 3% as an AP Scholar with Distinction with 15 AP and Dual Credit classes, 3 Endorsements, and a Distinguished Level of Achievement. I am a proven leader at school and in the community. I currently volunteer with a juvenile justice organization, befriending local incarcerated youth and providing re-entry support. In high school, I was a two-year Drum Major for our 6A marching band, mentor for 28 freshmen to ensure a successful 1st year of high school, regular speaker at student ministries, member of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra teen council, and founder of Supplies for Success, which distributed over 5,400 school supplies to refugee kids in Dallas this year. As a service-oriented community member, I graduated with over 500 verified hours of community service.
