I am a first year student at American University in Washington, D.C. in the School of Public Affairs. Despite having an undeclared major, I aspire to employ my strengths of communication, diligence, and relationship-building to find a field of study that I am utterly passionate towards. Through hands-on learning opportunities in the American University Scholars Program and School of Public Affairs Leadership Program, I am exploring the pressing issues and subject matter that faces Washington, D.C. and our nation as a whole.
