My lifelong quest as a nontraditional learner started early. In sixth grade, i was learning algebra when I had a major epiphany. I looked back on my experiences and realized my perception was in a state of constant evolution. I began to imagine all of the things I could do... and I never stopped.
I want your vote. I am committed to advancing sustainability and bringing forward innovative solutions. By working collaboratively, I will help integrate economy and ecology, because our future is green.
