“I believe in a force greater than myself alone. I value connectedness and inclusion especially in productive spaces. I think that exploration and adventure are keys to understanding life. I push to challenge the norm, yet preserving tradition when and where necessary. I value arts and humanities as a form of expression; for communication and vulnerability are building blocks to better bonds. I embrace time; my experiences of the past present and future. I value equity and will advocate for all human rights within my community. I move to elevate myself and others through mentorship and continuous learning.”
