Bio – I am a current MPA student at Florida State University studying Environmental Planning to prepare me for a career in Urban and Regional Planning with a focus on compensating for environmental issues, and protection of our natural resources.

I am the recipient of several certifications obtained from FSU, including Emergency Management, Public Administration, and Drone Piloting. I obtained these certificates during my undergraduate career, in which I earned a B.S. in International Affairs at Florida State. I have a deep-rooted passion in this area and intend to use my experiences and education to make a difference.

Outside of school, I have sought to give back to the youth of my community by being an avid volunteer in Exceptional Student Education, and private tutoring.

On a personal note, I enjoy DJ work, outside activities such as hiking/archery, and playing the trumpet recreationally.
 

“I am attempting to further my own career and expand in my passions, in addition to securing a financially stable future. I want to progress humanity. I want to help those in need. I want to travel across this entire planet and see everything there is to see. I want to experience life.”
