Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I'm a Valdosta native and community advocate. I graduated from Georgia Southern University with degrees in Political Science and Criminal Justice. After graduation, I began working across Georgia to expand voting access and strengthen civic engagement among young people. I've also organized efforts to involve more men in protecting reproductive freedom and supporting mothers, particularly in rural communities. I serve in leadership with the Young Democrats of America as the Southern Vice President where I support the work of our state chapters from Texas to Georgia and from Puerto Rico to Kentucky. I've also worked at the Georgia State Capitol since 2024 advancing policy solutions on issues like education and economic opportunity as Chief of Staff to Georgia State Senator RaShaun Kemp.
