I am an 18-year-old recent graduate of Royal High School in Simi Valley, CA, where I graduated Valedictorian and earned a full International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma with a GPA of 4.82. I am now studying at Occidental College in Los Angeles as part of their Multicultural Summer Institute, and I plan to double major in Politics and Math.  

Since high school, I’ve been deeply committed to promoting education and awareness around LGBTQ+ issues. My goal is to foster a more inclusive and compassionate society through advocacy, education, and leadership.

I was President of Royal High School’s Pride Club and regularly volunteered with LGBTQ+ and social justice organizations including the Diversity Collective and the Human Rights Campaign (HRC). I’m a 13-year Girl Scout, and in Spring 2025 I was named Girl Scout of the Year by Girl Scouts of Central California Coast.  I am also a Girl Scout Gold Award recipient — an honor achieved by less than 5% of eligible Girl Scouts. For my Gold Award, I created a training program to educate educators and community groups on the correct use of pronouns and gender terminology. I have since expanded and updated the curriculum to support schools, workplaces, and organizations in creating more inclusive environments.

I am proud to have earned the Gold, Silver, and Bronze Congressional Medals, and in summer 2024, I was also honored to receive the Women of the Year Award from California Assemblymember Jacqui Irwin for my advocacy work. I also currently hold a position on the California Board of Education's LGBTQ+ State Advisory Taskforce, where I will continue my work through January 2026, helping shape policies and initiatives that support LGBTQ+ students' well-being and success.

In addition to my advocacy efforts, I have been a private math tutor for the past 18 months, helping elementary, middle, high school and college students build confidence and improve their academic performance, I specialize in working with neurodivergent students. My approach is patient, individualized, and focused on helping students build both skills and confidence in math.
