2019 R2L NextGen
Hometown: Santa Ana, California
School: Valley High School
“The R2L NextGen program was an incredible experience because I became more knowledgeable about the political process. I had the privilege of visiting astounding monuments and museums. I came to the program extremely reserved and quiet, but as I met more and more people, I grew out of my comfort zone which has always been a challenge for me. I am leaving Washington D.C. as the leader I envisioned myself to be.”
