My transformative enlistment in the Marine Corps allowed me to develop key leadership skills and a deep-seated sense of service. Following my military service, I transitioned into impactful work as a community advocate, consistently demonstrating my ability to lead effectively and make a meaningful difference.

Throughout my journey, I have focused my advocacy efforts on critical issues such as supporting students and addressing homelessness. These efforts have earned me recognition from notable publications and organizations, including features in international works focused on my basic needs advocacy.
