I am fueled by three core life goals: establishing my own veterinary practice, graduating college without debt, and empowering underserved youth in my community, especially those who, like me, found guidance and inspiration through the Boys and Girls Club. As a first-generation BIPOC American, I carry a deep sense of purpose, shaped by my family's journey and the values they instilled in me: resilience, compassion, and the responsibility to lift others as I rise. My passion extends beyond animals, it's about people too. I’m committed to creating spaces where young students can explore agriculture, animal care, and environmental science early in life, so they can pursue their dreams with confidence. My goal isn’t just to build a successful future for myself, but to serve as a role model for the next generation. I want to be the kind of mentor and leader I once needed. Being the change I wish to see isn’t just a goal, it’s my lifelong mission.
