Growing up low-income and navigating the foster care system, I was profoundly impacted by the transformative power of community support and free programs. I relied heavily on extracurricular activities as a vital way to cope and build resilience. My experiences led me from feeling isolated to becoming a passionate advocate and leader, dedicated to giving voice to those who are often unheard, particularly foster youth and young adults.
Currently, I am pursuing a degree in Cybersecurity. My short-term goal is to intern and work for the government. Ultimately, I strive to become a Special Agent within the FBI, utilizing my expertise to combat cybercrime.
Through the Change Collective, my immediate mission is to significantly improve the visibility of community resources and advocate for better economic, educational, and holistic support for all.
