Summary
I am a young adult who is very active in Scouting, particularly our council’s summer camp, Makajawan Scout Reservation, where I will soon be entering into my fifth year on staff. My love for the outdoors goes outside Scouting, as I often find myself hiking various nature preserves and rails-to-trails paths in the Chicagoland area. I have a special interest in history, which is why I am pursuing it as my major at DePaul University, where I am currently a Freshman.
