Summary
Driven by a passion to transform lives, I am currently pursuing a double major in Education and Political Science to empower individuals through teaching and advocacy. My background in education, sales, and client relationship management has sharpened my empathy and problem-solving ability, which I use daily to connect and uplift those around me. I have designed inclusive learning environments for diverse student populations, thrived in retail sales, and strengthened community engagement, showcasing my ability to support a wide range of individuals. By extension, my legal and political studies have provided me with a strong foundation in legal analysis and advocacy, skills I am eager to apply to craft solutions that tackle systemic challenges, while driving impactful change in any endeavor. I am dedicated to harnessing these combined skills to inspire growth and create meaningful progress in any prospective atmosphere.
