Personal Statement
My interest in civic engagement, civil discourse, and service originates from my family. My grandfather and father instilled these values in me while I was growing up, often at the family law practice. Growing up, I realized that being civically involved was a part of me. In high school, I was named a student member of the board of education, where I had the chance to represent my peers and bring their concerns to the superintendent. While on the board, we addressed many issues, including student access to mental health services, access to arts, and a budget crisis towards the end of my term. On campus, I continue this by participating in the campus ministry program and the Army Reserve Officer Training Corps, and I am on the executive board for our campus band, which works to provide opportunities for the arts to students. I am also actively involved in the League of Women Voters, which promotes voting rights and access to elections for all people.
