    I am on the Advisory Board to the Sexual and Gender Minority Youth Resource Center (SMYRC). SMYRC's Mission Statement is: SMYRC honors and supports the power of LGBTQ youth to change the world. I believe youth are the key to the future, and they should be involved in as much as possible. Youth should be supported and heard in government both local and national, and should be encouraged to learn and grow, through mentorship and education.

    My horoscope for Friday, September 9th, 2011: Gemini (May 21 to June 20) You might make your mark by working as an apprentice or by donating your time as a volunteer, while gaining valuable experience. I just love when those things are accurate! I believe volunteering in one's community is one of the most important, rewarding experiences one can have. I surround myself with those who engage in local government and non-profits; I feel like this allows me to see a positive side to my community.

About Me

I am currently attending Portland State University, where I hope to earn a degree in Business.

My career goals include using my writing ability to help people, through the power of grant-writing, research and social media. I gain fulfillment through the knowledge that my work is helping people, causing tangible change in the lives of those who need it most. I work towards a more equitable society and this goal is echoed in all areas of my daily life.
