My Story
I am a student-athlete at Cornell University, where I study Applied Economics and Management in the Dyson School while competing as a Division I lacrosse player. Through my academic, athletic, and leadership experiences, I have developed a strong interest in global issues, public service, and creating positive change within communities. As an Advocacy Ambassador for Legacies of War, I am committed to increasing awareness of the long-lasting humanitarian consequences of conflict and the importance of education and advocacy. Through this role, I hope to help share overlooked stories, foster meaningful dialogue, and encourage others to become engaged in efforts that promote peace, understanding, and humanitarian action.
