I'm currently an undergrad at Lewis and Clark College and am looking to serve others so that they can have access to the same opportunities I do. Since middle school I've pushed myself towards academic excellence, joining the National Honor Society in high school and receiving a Letter of Commendation from the National Merit Scholarship Program. I finished high school as an AP Scholar with Distinction, an award given by CollegeBoard. I believe that education is at the heart of the American Dream is crucial for our democracy and the betterment of the world at large.
