Bio

I am a first-generation college student driven by a strong commitment to education, leadership, and service. As the first in my family to pursue higher education, I am motivated to create opportunities not only for myself but also for others who face similar barriers. Service is a core part of my identity. During the 2024–2025 academic year, I completed over 200 volunteer hours working with special education programs such as Special Olympics. My goal is to work at the intersection of law and sports to support fair competition, athlete representation, and community impact.
