What is important to me? As a student in a local community with the potential of global impact, my goal is to make global solutions from small scale problems.
I am driven from my peers and environment to do what is best for myself and those around me to make society better one day at a time. On campus, I am also involved in Maryland Images and the Student Alumni Leadership Council |

Who am I?
I was born and raised in Harford County, Maryland, an area a little more rural than college park but with a lot less community and collective growth. Something I saw great potential in the university was the ability for group think across many individuals from many backgrounds. Based on my own experiences and interests, financial literacy is something that is very important to me as a member of a functioning and successful society. I plan to harvest tools from the university to not only develop my own financial literacy, but help others achieve a stable state in the field as well.
Media, Self, and Society Scholars allows for a breath of fresh air in terms of educated individuals sharing discourse on very complex issues. Social media is a place where many students escape from the busy lives around them, not taking second thoughts to consider the implications of what we are reposting, liking, or engaging with. There are also few limitations on the content being bullhorned to the public, which can have rejuvenating benefits or catastrophic consequences. I plan to dig deep into how to efficiently consume media for me and my community's benefit so that this platform can be used to educate and unite us as people.
