Hometown: Daly City, CA

Education/Organizational Affiliation: I am a rising junior at Westmoor High School in Daly City, California. Some particular causes I am passionate about include bridging minority health disparities, advocating against human trafficking, and striving for equitable education opportunities. I am involved in a variety of clubs and groups in her school, most notably serving as Class of ‘26 President this past year. Outside of school, I work  with various local organizations and programs, including the Jackie Speier Foundation and the Daly City Youth Health Center.

Superpower: My ability to connect and empathize with others.

Why is lifting youth voice important? As a strong supporter in uplifting youth voices, I believe that encouraging youth engagement is vital to communities because young people can bring different perspectives and ideas to the table. It’s important that the next generation feel heard and valued as the decisions made today affect their future. I hope that the Summit will continue to inspire students around California to speak up and step out in their communities.
