Bio

My life goal is to make a tangible, lasting impact on how we interact with and protect the environment. I want to pursue a career in environmental policy or law, where I can work on solutions that balance human needs with environmental sustainability. Eventually, I hope to help shape policies that reduce environmental harm, support underserved communities, especially women and girls, and promote justice on a systemic level. I believe I am a strong candidate not only because of my academic dedication and leadership, but also because I never stop striving to grow. I'm passionate about using policy and leadership to drive meaningful change. That passion has guided my involvement in mock trial, where I’ve sharpened my advocacy and public speaking skills, and in DECA, where I’ve learned how to think strategically and work as part of a team, as well as compete at the international level. I carry a 4.37 weighted GPA, am deeply involved in extracurriculars, and work part-time, both as a hostess and legal intern. I've presented environmental solutions at competitions, engaged with school leadership, and sought out opportunities to learn from every challenge I face. Financial aid is crucial for me to attend a college where I can fully explore my interests in public policy, environmental studies, and law. With this support, I know I’ll make the most of every opportunity and use my education to serve others.
