About

I am a designer and business owner. I launched my school's first Eco Fashion Club, which educates on awareness and prevention of violence against humans and the environment. We make eco fashion products from recycled and upcycled material. I have an extensive work history in Production and Design and love stage managing and costume designing. I have a passion for law and justice and am co-captain of my school's award winning Mock Trial Team. I love animals, enjoy traveling and
learning about culture and art, and trying new foods.
