Personal Statement
As a child, I never dreamed that I would be someone with the power and voice to make a difference in the world. I realize now that I make a greater impact with my words and actions as an adult with a voice than I ever imagined. When I interned at Brooklyn Park City Hall in 2019, I realized that I had a passion for using my knowledge and experience to make a difference. From my interactions with the mayor and other council members to the different departments at City Hall, I knew this was my destiny. From the Brooklyn Bridge Alliance for Youth to Genesys at TCF Bank to Second Harvest, UCodeGirl to the Children's Defense Fund, I have been involved with many organizations over the years. By using all of my knowledge and experience, both past, present, and future, I try to make a positive difference. Helping those who have little or none is my mission in life, those who have grown up as I have.
