I’m a high school senior earning my diploma from John Muir High School and graduating with four associate degrees from Pasadena City College. My passion is my community, it’s the root of who I am and the reason behind everything I do. I’ve seen what’s possible when people have support, and I’m committed to being someone who gives that back. My goal is to become an entertainment attorney so I can protect and champion artists, especially those from underrepresented backgrounds. I want to make sure creatives are empowered, respected, and rightfully compensated for their work. I believe I’m a strong candidate for this scholarship because I’ve worked hard and defied expectations. I’ve balanced college courses with high school responsibilities, stayed focused on my goals, and never let obstacles define me. I’m not finished, I’m just getting started. I’m stepping into this next chapter with determination, purpose, and a deep belief in myself and what I can contribute to the world.
