I was born in Santa Rosa, California, and grew up in small town Vermont, supported by a tight knit rural community. I am currently a junior at Harvard College concentrating in Social Studies, with a secondary concentration in Ethnicity, Migration, and Rights. I plan to focus my undergraduate studies on the intersection of health access and systems of power. I am particularly interested in how health care is impacted by borders, incarceration, and structural systems like apartheid. Currently, I am working to begin original research on the impact of national health care policy decision making on rural communities.  

​

I am an experienced grassroots community organizer, and have work in a spectrum of non-profit, youth lead, and student driven advocacy spaces. Through applying some of my strongest skills, including attention to detail and strategic planning, to my belief in social change, I am proud to have helped build and sustain impactful campaigns and actions, both in Vermont and Cambridge. 

​

I hope to pursue graduate education, and am exploring many opportunities to continue my studies and make change through my professional career.
