Plans

An important part of my decision-making for my future is prioritizing the growth of my local Non-Profit, LuLu’s Free Store. With this in mind, I plan to attend Washington & Jefferson College to further my studies in Political Science, Economics, and Philosophy while running varsity Cross Country and Distance Track.
I aspire toward a political future, where I can advocate on the frontlines of the poverty crisis while being able to support dignity and hope in America in the legislative field.
