Bio

My goal in life is to ultimately maximize the happiness of myself and those around me. Because of this, I'm very passionate about social and political issues that affect communities I belong to, as well as other marginalized communities that I do not belong to. I want to use my education to learn about people not like me and grow a better understanding of different cultures and beliefs. I also would like to use my education to make a difference when it comes to some of the biggest issues of our time such as climate change.
