Hobbies
In school, I am involved in two clubs: Filipino American Association at SSU (FAASSU), and Blue Baronz Dance Club (BBDC). Within E-Board, I am the Vice President for BBDC, as well as the Director/Choreographer for both clubs. Outside of school, I am involved in a non-profit organization called Next Generation Scholars (NGS). NGS is a college access program, where we lead low-income students to achieve greater than what they expect: a full ride four-year college education. As an Alumni, I'm able to create a deep connection with the students with my personal experience about the importance of achieving a high education.
