HOSTESS
Summary

I am a high-energy, organized, and determined individual. My senior year of high school, I organized the national walkout against gun violence after the Parkland shooting at Central Magnet School. I also graduated in the class that brought Central Magnet to the #1 school in the state of Tennessee. I was extended a full scholarship by the American Civil Liberties Union to attend and participate in a summer legal program that included keynote speakers like Jeffery Robinson and Edward Snowden (livestreamed from Russia). I am currently enrolled at MTSU with a major in History and a double minor in Political Science and Computer Science, and I plan to attend law school after completing my undergraduate degree.
