Hampton University Student | Future Nonprofit Leader
Hampton
Summary
I am a dedicated Hampton University student and passionate musician with over three years of experience creating music, a core part of who I am and the foundation of my mission. Rooted in my personal journey as part of an immigrant family, I use music, leadership, and advocacy as powerful tools to empower and uplift immigrant children and their families. My vision is to build a nonprofit that provides safe, creative spaces where youth can discover their voices and become who they are meant to be. Through resilience, creativity, and service, I am committed to making a lasting impact on the next generation.
