Summary

Executive Summary

Driven and adaptable leader with a strong passion for community impact and economic development. Proficient in public speaking and leading by example, I am dedicated to creating meaningful change. During my tenure at the Kern Economic Development Foundation, I gained valuable insights into the transformative effects of business growth on the Kern County economy. My experience with SeedCore Foundation allowed me to enhance nonprofit operations through in-depth research over an eight-week period.

As ASB President at Bakersfield High School, I lead initiatives to unite and empower a diverse student body of 3,000. In my role as President of the National Honor Society, I spearhead impactful community service projects, such as partnerships with the Ronald McDonald House and local homeless shelters. With over 350 hours of service, I am committed to fostering positive change and improving the lives of those in my community.
