FinalistBio
I am passionate future advocate for labor policy and workplace equity driven by my family's immigration history and my firsthand understanding of how systemic barriers shape economic opportunities. My journey has led me to law school where I plan to focus on labor rights, ensuring that historically marginalized communities have the protections they deserve.
My passion for this work is deeply personal. My grandparents navigated workforces that often disregarded Black and immigrant workers. Their sacrifices fuel my commitment to dismantling inequities in hiring practices and workplace policies, particularly through the lens of race, identity, and professional advancement. This commitment has led me to coauthor an article in the journal Immigrants and Minorities as well as author a senior thesis on Black Men's Hair in the Corporate Workplace. These works reflect my dedication to policy-driven change.
Beyond my academic pursuits, I bring a bold, unwavering confidence to every space I enter. I do not shrink myself to fit expectations; instead, I use my voice to challenge norms, advocate for justice, and uplift those whose stories often go unheard while exhibiting the compassion my faith has taught me. My leadership, resilience, passion, compassion and deep intellectualism make me a strong candidate for scholarships that support future leaders. With the right resources, I will continue to push for a labor system that values dignity, fairness, and opportunity for all.
