Summary

I’m studying Government and International Politics with a minor in Business Analytics because I’ve lived through what happens when policy fails people. I’ve spoken on global stages like United Nations, led initiatives for girls’ education, and worked with communities facing real barriers. I’m now looking to apply those experiences in policy spaces that need both lived insight and practical thinking, where change isn’t just discussed, but built.
