What does being part of this organization or program mean to you?
As the President of BSA, I am dedicated to creating opportunities for my peers to explore pathways and feel comfortable in spaces that often do not consider their disadvantages. Being part of Holy Cross's BSA is an opportunity to build intimate connections with my peers and have character-building experiences as we strive for academic excellence.
What was a highlight of attending the 2026 Youth Summit and Expo?
One highlight of attending the 2026 Youth Summit was having the opportunity to sit at the National roundtable and contribute to the conversation on behalf of the youth.
What excites you about STEM?
What excites me the most about STEM is the unlimited possibilities for discovery. The areas of STEM I am most curious about are those which concern the intersections of STEM and policy. Law plays a big role in the applications of STEM, and I would love to explore that further.
Fun fact about me:
I play REP volleyball!
