Summary
My years of experience as a student of the International Baccalaureate program taught me how to work hard and succeed at what I do. But even more importantly, it instilled in me a sense of global-mindedness, and a desire to dedicate myself to the people and cultures of the world. Seeking to leverage these aspirations with my love for politics, I began pursuing an International Relations degree at the college of William and Mary, where I am also a member of religious and cultural clubs, as well as a comedy improv club. During my time in high school, I let my creativity flourish through internships, volunteer jobs, and working for philanthropic organizations, wherein I could fully employ my love for content creation, and the nurturing of those younger than me.
