Bio
Hello! I am a college student and dedicated psychological researcher at Cornell Medicine and the University of Pennsylvania who is passionate about addressing the youth overdose crisis. As the founder of Temple Overdose Prevention (ODP), I lead a non-profit organization that trains young adults to save lives through overdose prevention and intervention, empowering thousands with the skills and resources to act in critical moments. My goal is to become a licensed clinical psychologist and leader in the fight against addiction, pioneering innovative strategies and initiatives that can save lives and inspire others to take action. In my free time I enjoy experimenting with different makeup styles and creating costumes of my favorite video game characters
