About

I’m a student at Rice University, fortunate to have earned a full-ride scholarship. Currently, I’m pursuing a degree in political science and sports management with the goal of attending law school. I’m passionate about exploring the intersections of communications, leadership, law, and social policy.Outside of my academic pursuits, I have a deep passion for the performing arts—whether it's singing, acting, or directing—and hope to continue exploring these creative outlets as side ventures. My faith is at the core of everything I do, and I’m committed to leadership roles in various Christian clubs, always striving to make a positive impact on the communities I'm part of.
