Future Plans:
"Throughout my time at Pitt and in the community, I’ve seen how lived experiences are often lost before reaching decision-makers. After a gap year in public interest work, I plan to pursue graduate studies in law and public policy, with the goal of advancing equitable development and expanding economic mobility."
