What issue area are you most passionate about? Which do you know the most about?  (Immigration, environment, woman’s rights, mental health, LGBTQ rights, etc.):

The issue areas that I’m most passionate about right now is immigration because I think many immigrant people are crossing the border to have a better opportunity for their families, but they are looked at and treated very unfairly even though they mean no harm. I also think many immigrants have less employment opportunities due to language barrier, and prejudice.

What activities do like to do regularly as a pastime?

Hobbies that I enjoy are cooking and baking and I engage 3 times a week.Activities I enjoy is swimming and I often engage every day of the week.

What clubs/organizations/sports/job are you involved with outside of youth making change?

Clubs:French honer society, Link crew, Future Leader of America
Sport: water polo, swimming
Job: Don’t have a job

Is there anything else that you would like people to know about yourself?

I adore my family very much and I have four brothers and I’m the only girl
