On my future and purpose: I have always found my purpose in life to play a role in human rights advocacy. By participating in the LFNC program I hope to express my dedication to equality, public service, and community-building through my actions. I also want to go to graduate school for Urban Development and I believe this will be an irreplaceable experience for my education and professional career. Overall, this opportunity will be a great stepping stone for me to be a more responsible and knowledgeable advocate for positive change in the many places and communities I call home.
