I was raised in North Carolina, in a little town called Clinton. I come from a small family, and I hope to raise one of my own someday. I’ve lived in Raleigh for several years, pursuing a degree in mechanical engineering at N.C. State University. I’ve taken the initiative to secure industry work experience to prepare myself for my upcoming engineering career.

In my free time, I’m an avid 3D printing enthusiast, a hobbyist winemaker, and an experienced home cook with a love for new recipes and unique flavors. In the interest of better understanding and serving the community that raised me, I decided to run for office. I wish to bolster the voice of students and young families in North Carolina, who will inherit the Tar Heel State in the years to come.

Here’s to a prosperous future!

For nearly eight decades, American society has been defined by Baby Boomers. From the rise of children’s cartoons in the ‘50s to Social Security and healthcare reforms in the late

2000’s, the public and private sectors have tailored themselves to this numerous and wealthy generation. If these past few years have taught us anything, it’s that times change, and they change quickly. As average American ages decrease, public policy must adapt to ensure young people can thrive.

As a student myself, I feel very strongly about the economic and regulatory barriers holding hopeful students and young families back. A state like North Carolina, which enjoys one of the highest population growth rates in the country, directly benefits from providing the free and prosperous environment young people require to succeed.

I wish to boost the voice of young North Carolinians and ensure that the Tar Heel State is ready when it’s our turn.
