Bio

🎓 A (remote!) UCLA student passionate about living, learning, and changing my path with every new opportunity that comes my way.

⛵️ I’m currently living on a boat in the Bay Area with my bunny Albus (because why not?) and want to include the following in my bio but am hopeless at graceful social media self-promotion:

🔸 President of an anti-human trafficking organization with endlessly more to learn about the factors that make individuals more vulnerable to being trafficked: race, nationality, LGBTQ+ identity, gender, immigration status, history in foster care, homelessness, economic instability, and the parts of our culture that allow human beings to be degraded and treated as less than.

🔹 Student of international development with special focus on generally decolonizing aid and Africa in particular (I spent a summer in Uganda working at an NGO and taking international affairs and development classes at Makerere University, but I have infinitely more to learn about the diversity, complexity, and vibrancy of the continent — obviously!)

🔸 Geography major passionate about GIS and remote sensing

🔹 Passion for modernizing antitrust and patent laws to protect the competitiveness of smaller companies and enable radical innovation.

🔸 Belief that people aren’t “saved” from bad situations, but that there are endless possibilities to offer the (legal, financial, educational) help and kindness they might need to empower themselves.

🔹 Longtime struggler (sure, that’s a word!) with depression and PTSD who is infinitely interested in psychology, psychiatry, therapy, and the neuroscience behind why it can feel so hard to just exist sometimes.

🎉 I think that’s all I’ve got right now, thanks (and congratulations) for reading this far!
