Summary
As an avid political participant, I am constantly in search of ways to forward the initiatives that I think will improve our society. Away in Ithaca, I have manifested this participation in the Cornell Chapter of the ACLU and my position as Political Action Chair of Black Students United. Now back at home, I am excited to begin exploring the ways I can get involved in my community and give back, hopefully beginning with assisting the Arizona Democratic Party in their Communication Department.
