About

I am currently a freshman at the College of Human Ecology in Cornell University. I have always been a motivated student who never had schoolwork come easily. I worked extremely hard throughout high school to be where I am today, and I plan to work even harder to get a scholarship for law school in the future. Politics and government has always been a passion of mine, and I plan to work as a defense attorney for awhile and eventually make my way up to a federal judge.
