Bio

I am a student leader, advocate, and organizer dedicated to advancing educational equity, civic engagement, and youth representation in policymaking. I plan to pursue a career in human rights law and eventually serve in Congress, where I hope to use public policy and legal advocacy to expand opportunities for marginalized communities and ensure young people have a meaningful voice in the systems that shape their futures. I am the founder of Generation Vote Alief, a youth-led electoral justice nonprofit focused on increasing civic education and youth involvement in my community, Alief. Through this initiative, I have mobilized more than 700 young people, led a team of volunteers, organized civic education events, built partnerships with 19 local organizations, secured over $50,000 in support, and reached more than 100,000 people through community campaigns. I also co-founded and serve as Vice Chair of the Texas State Board of Education Student Advisory Council, where I authored school equity policy recommendations affecting more than 5.5 million students across Texas. My commitment to service extends beyond advocacy. As President of Alpha Active Knights, I have led initiatives including planting more than 200 trees, organizing biweekly school cleanups to support custodial staff, and coordinating programs connecting students with residents in senior facilities. Additionally, I'm President of Future Business Leaders of America, teaching business education skills. I remain committed to building stronger communities and empowering young people to lead meaningful change.
