About
Presidential Scholar at The George Washington University in Washington, D.C., pursuing a double major in Sociology and Dance with a minor in Law and Society. My future aspirations include contributing to the performing arts while also attending law school to specialize in performing arts and entertainment law.
I possess a strong creative inclination, a keen attention to detail, organizational skills, and effective communication abilities. While I thrive in collaborative settings, I am also adept at working independently. My dual interests in the arts and the legal aspects of the industry drive my commitment to gaining comprehensive knowledge through diverse opportunities.
