About

I am a student at Syracuse University, double majoring in Political Science and Psychology. I have a passion for leadership, civic engagement, and social activism. When I finish my undergraduate degree, I plan on attending law school, pursuing a future degree in criminal law.

I am most myself when actively involved in events and a lot of different activities. I enjoy being around people and I enjoy motivating other people. I like moving into action and making things happen. I have strong principles and strong self-confidence. I am reliable and good at securing and maintaining stable environments. I am practical and strong-willed, a hard-worker, and self-motivated. I am direct, honest, friendly and down-to-earth. I am a loyal person, and dedication is invaluable in all aspects to me. I am more than willing to dive into the most challenging projects, improving action plans and sorting details to get things done right.
