Major: Sociology with a Concentration in Criminology

Project: Develop stricter and more organized regulations in my community to reduce the chances of gun violence. Supporting gun violence survivors.

Inspiration: My family was a victim of gun violence and we never got the justice we deserved. Also, we live in a world of uncertainty and fear so it’s important to address the bigger issues that add to that fear.

Future Goals: I want to be a tiny part of the change to make the world a better place in terms of gun violence. I want to help bring a little bit of ease and peace back to people in my communities.
