About
I graduated high school (Germantown Friends School) in June of 2023. I am currently on a gap year, which I am using to obtain gender affirming care, resolve pre-existing issues with neuropathy, volunteer and assist in mutual aid efforts, and study for my NREMT cognitive and psycho-motor exams. In August I will be attending St. Lawrence University in Canton, NY for undergrad, where I (as of right now) intend to study public health.
