Personal Statement
As a young kid, I have always had a passion for public service. I would often sit with my grandpa and watch news related to current events and politics. We stayed active, attending registration events, rallies, and more. Although my grandpa and grandmother were not public officials, they taught me what it truly meant to be a city which was an engagement in the community. This passion for public service still cares today. I have the opportunity to serve as as the Political Participation Coordinator for the Bonner Office of Community Service. In this role, I have mobilized and educated Atlanta University Center students on civic engagement led and hosted voter registration drives, candidate forums, and informational videos on campus. With this passion, I also served as a White House HBCU Scholar recognized for my accomplishments in academics, leadership, and civic engagement.
