What is your major?

My major is Political Science.

What high school did you go to?

I graduated from John Bowne High School.

Why John Jay?

I chose John Jay because its renowned programs in law, criminal justice, and public affairs align with my goal of becoming a child advocate lawyer. Beyond academics, John Jay has given me the space to lead and advocate—whether through organizing mental health events, contributing to newsletters, or serving as Chief of Staff to the Student Council President. It’s a community where I can grow both as a future legal professional and as a changemaker.

Where do you hope to be in 5 years?

The realest answer? In five years, I might still be figuring things out—juggling law school, healing from old wounds, and trying not to burn out while chasing big goals. I’ll probably still question myself at times, but I’ll keep showing up, learning, and doing the work anyway. I just want to be in a place where I’m growing, not settling, and finally starting to feel like I belong in the rooms I walk into.
