About

I am a well rounded, cultured young person with strong interests in history, secondary and higher education, French/American cultural relations and affairs, East Asian cultures and languages, Native American alliance and support groups, Catholic organizations/associations, and archival research.
I have crucial experience in working with children/teens (ages 8-18), and I have strong public speaking skills.

I have a passionate determination to help end injustice and inequality in the American education system. Too many young Americans aren't getting the proper and necessary education that will help guide them towards achieving their goals. I plan to use my own education, skills, and privilege to bring about fundamental change in that flawed system.
