The world needs bold thinkers, precise doers, and creative problem solvers. I am ready to take my place among them…

Precision drives me whether I’m balancing on my Rolla Bolla in the circus ring, hoisting my teammates over my head under stadium lights, or making unexpected acting choices so the words pull off the page as I study my lines. My life has been a series of performances, some in front of roaring crowds, others in quieter corners, but all requiring the same blend of creativity and control.

My background might not seem like the obvious training ground for someone pursuing a degree in Global Studies, but I would argue it has prepared me in ways few traditional paths could. While filming the role of a boy with ALL Leukemia, I worked with the head researcher at SickKids Hospital in Toronto. During one visit, she explained that the research facility was designed with large open spaces to foster community and creativity; you need both to solve complex problems. That idea has stuck with me ever since.

Whether through cultural diplomacy, producing a series that amplifies global perspectives, or advocating for policies that address systemic injustices, I know that the intersection of creativity and precision is where real impact happens. I believe that my existence in this intersection uniquely prepares me for law school, and my professional pursuits beyond. The best leaders aren’t just policymakers, they’re visionaries.

I’ve spent my entire life balancing structure and spontaneity, artistry and discipline; sometimes gracefully, sometimes not. I know how to improvise when things don’t go as planned, but I also know when precision and practice matter, when the landing has to be perfect or someone will get hurt. As I move forward, I plan to take that same mix of calculated risk and creative instinct, the same ethos that’s carried me through circus rings, film sets, stadium tunnels, and concert stages, into law school, writers’ rooms, public office, or global stages.

Campus & Community Involvement

  • ASPCA Ambassador

    The ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) is dedicated to protecting vulnerable animals, rescuing those in crisis, and advocating for stronger animal welfare laws. As a celebrity ambassador, I use my platform to raise awareness, amplify voices, and support critical campaigns that protect animals from abuse and neglect. Initially brought on to advocate for the Stop Dog Fighting Initiative, I have since lobbied Congress to pass essential legislation like Goldie’s Law, which strengthens protections for animals in puppy mills. I also support the Behavioral Rehabilitation Center, helping rehabilitated dogs and cats find loving homes, and most recently, assisted in efforts to reunite pets and their owners affected by the LA wildfires through Pasadena Humane.

  • Global Development Lab

    Global Development Lab at UCLA endeavors to provide a results-driven space for students to research, incubate, and implement innovative ideas that generate social impact. Through professionally-led workshops, internship placements, research projects, and development model experimentation, GDL equips students with the tangible skills and resources necessary to successfully foster responsible global development initiatives.

  • Project Incubator

    Through The Project Incubator at UCLA Global Development Lab, I was able to propose “Reel Futures”. Reel Futures is a transformative program that brings screenwriting education into LA County youth correctional facilities, empowering incarcerated youth to share their stories and process trauma through writing. By integrating arts education into communities most impacted by trauma, Reel Futures fosters creative expression, skill-building, and new pathways for the future.

  • Sigma Chi Fraternity

    The Delta Eta Chapter of the Sigma Chi Fraternity at the University of California, Los Angeles has cultivated notable prestige and upheld its core values of friendship, justice, and learning since its inception in 1948, and is proud to promote the learning experience of over 120 currently active members. The Chapter is devoted to enhancing not only its own brotherhood but also UCLA’s community. Sigma Chi Headquarters has consistently awarded Delta Eta the J. Dwight Peterson Significant Chapter Blue Award for its philanthropic contributions to the UCLA community and the Huntsman Cancer Foundation. Sigma Chi is one of the oldest and largest fraternities in North America and is honored to have an active alumni network of over 300,000 brothers.

  • Friends of Korea

    I was sponsored and nominated by my UCLA International Area Studies Professor, Jennifer Jung Kim. to join Friends of Korea; an organization dedicated to fostering cultural understanding and friendship between Americans and Koreans. The organization promotes educational initiatives, networking opportunities, and philanthropic efforts focused on supporting Korean communities in the United States and Korea itself. The group, founded by former Peacecorp volunteers to Korea, aims to establish a continued connection between Koreans and Americans.


  • UCLA Travel Study:France

    Travel Study: Global Challenges in Post Colonial France. This Global Studies summer program in Paris will assess the various global challenges France faces today. How has France negotiated its transition from a leading colonial power to a post-colonial one? How can one begin to understand immigration policies and politics, uprisings in the banlieues housing projects, the widening gap between rich/poor, rural/urban, young/old, unemployment, and the rise of extremist political agendas?
