Future Plans/Aspirations

My future plans are to start a non-profit that focuses on giving extra academic and athletic services to children located in underfunded neighborhoods. I’ve always wanted to find ways that I can give back to a community that doesn’t receive the proper funding. In addition to starting a nonprofit, I desire to find a job in legislation preferably in the criminal justice sector.

Experience as A Graduate Student at FSU

Unfortunately my first semester as a graduate student at Florida State was cut short due to COVID-19. In the short time that I spent on campus I found a lot of spots on campus where I could chill and relax.
