WinnerBio
Incoming College freshman at Northeastern University who is the founder of STARS NJ, a national education organization with over 40 volunteers in 15+ states, providing 200+ hours of tutoring annually to underserved students. I also created the Menstrual Equity Advocates club in my city while serving as a global advisor for WeDeliverPeriod. I love to dance, learn new languages, and spend time with my family and friends. Some highlights from the past few years have been attending Harvard Summer School, interning and campaigning for late congressman Bill Pascrell, becoming a 2024 Bank of America Student Leader, and a 2025 Disney Dreamer. I aspire to become the first politician in my family.
