Bio

I am a first-year at Barnard College of Columbia University, where I study Political Science and Economics on the pre-law track. I am passionate about law, policy, advocacy, and philanthropy. I contribute to the Columbia Undergraduate Law Review as a Roundtable Writer, writing legal articles on relevant legal issues. I serve on the board of Athena Mock Trial at Columbia University as the Curriculum Director, where I develop a mock trial curriculum to help students improve their trial performance. I lead my nonprofit organization Nourish America to provide allergy-friendly and organic food to underprivileged communities throughout the United States. As a Gold Award Girl Scout, I serve on the Gold Award Committee of Princeton. Currently, I'm an intern with Food Allergy Research & Education (FARE) where I conduct research on health policies at colleges across the U.S.
