Rise above.

What gets you out of bed in the morning? To school? Maybe you're looking forward to having lunch with your friends, or a cool lab in class, or just trying to get through the day. Or maybe, like me, you wake up in the morning thinking about what you can do to make your school and community a little better.

That feeling is what's driven me to co-found your Student Union, to make commutes easier as the founder of CaverMetro Club and the California High School Transit Alliance, to team up with MTS and bring free PRONTO cards (with a side of free churros) to our campus, and to tell the stories that matter on Caver News Network and as a founding member of San Diego Unified's Sports Broadcasting team.

And now, it's what's driving me to ask for your vote this spring. Commuting through City College station every morning has given me a great appreciation for this school and its diverse student body. I know our campus deserves more than a popularity contest, or incessant TikTok slideshows showing the school how many friends I have.

Our campus needs royalty that will act like it.
