INTERNSHIP HIGHLIGHT: "My favorite part of my internship is the support that I receive from my colleagues. Since I arrived, I have always felt like I have been working WITH the team, rather than for them."
FUN FACT: "I have sung the national anthem at the UCLA Men's Basketball and Baseball home games."
CAREER GOALS: "Wherever I go, I wish to empower students in our state and across the country through a fulfilling career of public service.
