Coming from a small rural town in Maryland called Poolesville, I consider myself a well-rounded individual with a unique perspective on life. There are no stop lights in my town, and my elementary school, middle school, and high school are all within a one mile radius of one another. I’m extremely competitive and I am the hardest working person you will ever meet. No one will ever outwork me.

I graduated from Virginia Tech, where I majored in Financial Planning. I work in the financial services industry. I plan on attaining my CFP®  by July.

I co-founded a soon to be non-profit organization called Actively Caring For People. We believe that through intentional acts of kindness, one can change the world. An act of kindness has a ripple effect with no logical end. We have given out over 10,000 actively caring green wristbands, and we have bullying prevention programs all along the east coast. Everything is really starting to snowball, which truly excites me.

I believe in Aristotle’s view on ethics

I consider myself to be motivated internally; that is my drive comes from within. My motivation stems from helping others (self-transcendence), seeing an idea come to fruition, injustice in the world, my experiences in general, and from seeing the inherent good in people.

I sincerely believe that all authority belongs to the people.
