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.):
I am most passionate about mental health. Mental health is something we don't pay enough attention to in our community, we can't control it, but i believe that we can find ways to control how we support and find grounding. Many people, including myself, struggle with mental health and I want more resources to be available for people to confine in a safe place.
What activities do like to do regularly as a pastime?
I'm a video editor, more specially a kdrama editor, but I edit my favorite TV shows as well! I recently have been trying to get into embroidery, music writing, and painting.
What clubs/organizations/sports/job are you involved with outside of youth making change?
I am involved in fighting back, EAOP, and volunteering at the eagles.
