Hello, I am a full-time student enrolled at Loyola University of New Orleans, majoring in psychology, minoring in sociology and criminal justice. I was born in Brasil and transitioned to Bay St. Louis, Mississippi at the age of six. Upon my graduation at Bay High School, I ranked in the top 10% of my class with a GPA of 4.2. While in high school, I participated in various organizations such as: National Honor Society, student council, leadership association, and soccer. At Loyola, I am the representative for Students Against Hyper Incarceration and a member of the psychology and sociology club. In my free time, I have volunteered at several agencies throughout new Orleans; programs include Apex Children's Center, The Hope Lodge cancer center, Covenant House homeless rehabilitation center, and multiple self-sustaining garden organizations. Thank you for allowing me to become a member of honorsociety.org!
