  • On the First Year Council, I work with a small group of peers selected from Oxford College of Emory University to advocate for student concerns, critique resource allocation, and problem solve to improve overall community wellbeing.
  • I'm ecstatic to be a new addition to Oxford College's student health peer educator group: OxSAPA. On the executive board, it is my pleasure to educate others and support survivors by amplifying the messaging, resources, and empathy embedded within and surrounding the OxSAPA organization.

As a part of the Student Admissions Association, I'm responsible for making prospective students feel safe, validated, and welcome at Oxford College of Emory University. Although working for Emory Admissions is technically a 'job,' I am nonetheless grateful. I feel a great sense of internal fulfillment when I have the opportunity to connect with new students during an in-person information session, a virtual Q&A panel, over the Welcome to College database, andmy favoritegiving walk-though tours of Oxford to families.

Accomplishments

    Writing Accomplishments

    After surviving the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, I turned to writing to heal. I was fortunate enough to write an essay that was published in If I Don’t Make It I Love You - a compilation of gun violence survivor stories. Not much after, I had the opportunity to connect with Representative Rosa DeLauro, who read one of my poems on the floor of congress.

    High School Achievements

    I’m proud to report that my senior year I was awarded the George Blakeman Lovell Award. Established in 1955 in memory of a past Hopkins’ headmaster, this award is made to “a student who has demonstrated the greatest perseverance and character in the classroom, on the athletic field and in everyday conduct.’”

Hobbies

Once I became intoxicated by the vulnerability of poetry, I turned to it as not only a coping mechanism, but also as an opportunity to challenge my creativity. My art is always a work-in-progress, and I've come to love how meaning is transformed through simply changing a word, a line, or a dash. Becoming a writer taught me how to articulate myself, and I would not trade it for anything.
